Rolls-Royce says the engine that is due to power the Dassault Aviation Falcon 10X has completed “all major engine certification tests.”
Flight trials of the engine have now been wrapped up, Rolls-Royce CEO Tufan Erginbilgic said July 31.
Rolls-Royce is due to power the new Dassault aircraft with the latest variant of its Pearl-family of business jet engines, the Pearl 10X. The engine maker said it would now “submit the certification reports to the regulators for approval.”
The company a year ago said it had delivered the first Pearl 10X to Dassault to prepare for the Falcon 10X’s first flight, which is still pending. The French aircraft maker has not said when the aircraft will take to the air.
Rolls-Royce has been ramping up production of its Pearl family of business-jet engines. The Pearl 15 powers the Bombardier Global 5500 and 6500, and the Gulfstream G700 and G800 use the Pearl 700.
