The company has begun an evaluation phase, conducting flight tests of the Pearl 10X engine, highlighting recent innovations and technologies for commercial aviation. This engine was studied and selected by the French manufacturer, Dassault, to improve its flagship aircraft, the Falcon 10X.
Evaluations and test performance
Since its presentation at last year’s Capital Markets Day, Rolls-Royce’s strategy has been clear: expand into the business aviation market. The Pearl 10X, part of the next-generation Pearl engine family, is a testament to this commitment and represents the first Rolls-Royce engine to power a Dassault commercial aircraft.
The flight tests, to be conducted in Tucson, Arizona, will involve the participation of pilots and engineers from test pilots and flight test engineers for several months. This program will encompass a variety of engine performance and handling evaluations, including system and vibration testing at different altitudes.
Pearl 10X engine test phases
The onshore development phases have been detailed and meticulous, with demanding testing of key components such as the low-emission ALM combustion chamber and accessory gearbox.
These tests have demonstrated the engine’s reliability, exceeding expectations in terms of thrust levels. Philipp Zeller, senior vice president of Dassault expressed his enthusiasm for this stage of development, highlighting the reliability and performance requirements of the Pearl 10X.
The Pearl 10X, based on the Advance2 core engine, offers a unique combination of power and efficiency. With a power output of over 18,000 lbf and 5% higher efficiency than the previous generation of Rolls-Royce engines, Rolls-Royce has been able to deliver more than 18,000 lbf of power and 5% higher efficiency than previous generation engines.
