Engine certification will continue through the first half of 2023, including flights currently under way on the P&W flying test bed in Mirabel, as well as endurance testing to ensure product maturity at entry into service.
In order to provide the 4 MW of electrical power required for operations, the airship will incorporate a total of four 1 MW turbogenerators in the nacelles located in the side fins of the aircraft.
The PW127XT-M engine is reckoned to offer 40% extended time on wing, 20% lower maintenance costs and a three per cent improvement in fuel efficiency. It will also fly on 100% SAF.
The PT6 E-Series was chosen as a reliable and versatile turboprop engine family that will deliver the performance characteristics required as GA-ASI continues its development of MQ-9B capabilities.
The airframe has been re-engineered to reduce drag, with such changes as replacing the external pilot entry step with a foldable ladder, and adding flaptrack covers on the wing and wheel fairings to the landing gear.
Successfully demonstrated hybrid-electric technology could be implemented in a range of novel applications, including high speed eVTOL, unmanned aerial vehicles, and small to medium sized commercial aircraft.
With a fleet of over 1,000 engines, India's Armed Forces are one of the largest operators of Safran-designed helicopter engines. A new JV will further boost that number into the future.
The SAF used was 100% Hydroprocessed Esters and Fatty Acids Synthetic Paraffinic Kerosine (HEFA-SPK) acquired from World Energy. HEFA-SPK is a specific type of hydrotreated renewable feedstock fuel.
This milestone follows the flight of an H225 with one SAF-powered Makila 2 engine in November 2021, and is part of the flight campaign aimed at understanding the impact of SAF use on the helicopter's systems.
The first dedicated Pearl 10X test engine ran for the first time earlier this year and surpassed its target thrust levels on the first test run, making it the most powerful business aviation engine in the Rolls-Royce portfolio.
As main subcontractor for this major collaborative European programme, Airbus Defence and Space is responsible for the selection of the engine supplier - and was looking for performance combined with low risk.
The Hydrogen Steam Injected, Inter-Cooled Turbine Engine (HySIITE) project will use liquid hydrogen combustion and water vapour recovery to achieve zero in-flight CO2 emissions.
The aerobatic trainer powered by the PT6A-25C turboprop engine will be named DART-750 and will, as previously envisaged, come with the state-of-the-art Garmin G3000 avionics suite and optional ejection seats.
Designed, built and supported in France, Arrano engines will power the French armed forces' Leopard helicopter. Safran will also supply a range of other systems and components for the program.
Work on the joint engine demonstrator will kickstart early next year, with the UK investing an initial £30 million in planning, digital designs and innovative manufacturing developments.
A new configuration engine has been undergoing ground and flight testing at Pratt & Whitney for a year now. The GTF Advantage is to become the company's new production standard for A320neo family aircraft.
DHC plans to offer the ZA2000 electric powertrain both as an in-line and retrofit option for the Dash 8-400. The power plant should be running on the ground by the end of 2022.
Work on a new, initial production order for a high performance UAS jet engine will be performed at a secure Kratos manufacturing facility, but the company is sworn to secrecy as to its application.
