- ATR, the world's largest commercial turboprop aircraft maker, and Pratt & Whitney Canada will collaborate to develop propulsion technology aimed at reducing fuel burn and maintenance costs, the companies said on Monday.

Franco-Italian ATR, jointly owned by Airbus AIR.PA and Leonardo LDOF.MI, is the dominant producer of regional turboprop planes, with a family of aircraft seating 42 to 78 people.

Pratt & Whitney is U.S.-based RTX's RTX.N engine-making subsidiary.
