By GlobalDataThe company has picked Rolls-Royce’s newest advanced engine, Pearl 10X, to power the Falcon 10X. The engine can deliver more than 18,000lb of thrust.
Rolls-Royce is developing the Pearl 10X at its Centre of Excellence for Business Aviation Engines in Dahlewitz, Germany.
The engine is currently being subjected to a comprehensive test programme to evaluate its capability to operate on 100% sustainable aviation fuels.
A key feature of the engine is the 3D-printed combustor tiles, which are made using an advanced additive layer manufacturing process.
The Pearl 10X offers a 5% higher efficiency when compared with Rolls-Royce’s last generation of business aviation engines.
Rolls-Royce civil aerospace president Chris Cholerton said: “Today marks the start of a successful partnership and, with our pioneering Pearl 10X engine and leading customer service, I look forward to supporting Dassault as they continue to impress their customers in the ultra-long-range corporate jet market.”
