Rolls-Royce has received type certification from Agência Nacional de Aviação Civil (ANAC) and European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) for the AE 3007A2 engine.

All engine development testing has been completed and four engines have achieved over 300 flying hours and cycles on two flight test aircraft.

The 9,440lbf thrust engine, which powers Embraer’s Legacy 650 large executive jet, received US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) certification in April 2010.

The AE 3007A2 provides 6% to 12% higher take-off and climb, thrust and reduced specific fuel consumption than its predecessor.
