Rolls-Royce Develops Most Powerful Aircraft Engine Yet
Rolls-Royce is currently testing its new engine, the Pearl 10X, using a Boeing 747.
This engine will first be equipped in the latest business jets by the French manufacturer, Dassault.
When one hears the name Rolls-Royce, luxury cars might spring to mind first, but the company is also a major player in other industries. Having previously ventured into nuclear reactor design, Rolls-Royce has a long history of developing and manufacturing aircraft engines. The new Pearl 10X is their most powerful engine to date for business aircraft, and testing by the company has recently commenced.
The engine, dubbed the Pearl 10X, has already taken to the skies aboard a Boeing 747 used by Rolls-Royce for testing purposes. Engineers will conduct further tests in the future. Upon successful completion of the testing phase, the engine will be outfitted on the Dassault Falcon 10X, the latest business jet from the French company Dassault.
Over the coming months, pilots and engineers overseeing the test flights will rigorously evaluate the engine. They will monitor its performance and observe how it operates at various speeds and altitudes.
Vice President of Dassault Aviation, Philipp Zeller, mentioned that the Pearl 10X has performed well in all tests thus far, and they are optimistic about the results in the next three months.
Rolls-Royce regularly conducts engine tests on a Boeing 747 designed for this purpose. However, this series of tests is even more special. Typically, three standard engines are accompanied by a fourth under testing, but this time, the Boeing will operate with five engines. During these flights, experts accumulate an average of 20 GB of data daily to analyze and determine how the Pearl 10X performs in flight.
