PEARL 10X ENGINE PERFORMS FLAWLESSLY
Earlier this year, the first dedicated Pearl 10X test engine ran for the first time surpassing its target thrust levels on the first test run, making it the most powerful business aviation engine in Rolls-Royce’s portfolio.
All testing conducted so far has proved the reliability of the engine and shown it will meet the performance requirements to power Dassault’s flagship, the Falcon 10X.
Dr. Dirk Geisinger, Director of Business Aviation, Rolls-Royce, said: “Our Pearl 10X team is extremely focussed on the development of the engine and it makes me proud to see the continuous progress of the program.
The combination of highly-efficient power and outstanding environmental performance of the Pearl 10X is in a class of its own and will support Dassault’s Falcon 10X in setting new standards in the ultra-long-range corporate jet market.”
The Pearl 10X features the Advance2 engine core, the most efficient core available across the business aviation sector, and combines it with a high-performance low-pressure system, resulting in a superior thrust of more than 18,000lbf.
