ROLLS- ROYCE LAUNCHES PEARL ESPECIALLY FOR BOMBARDIER

Rolls-Royce launched a new engine family called the Pearl, exclusively for the Bombardier Global 5500 and 6500 aircraft. It will be the sole engine for the planes. The sixth engine launch for Rolls-Royce for the past 10 years, the Pearl is said to be the “most efficient engine core available across the business aviation sector,” according to the company.

The introduction of this new engine family serves to reaffirm Rolls-Royce’s leading position in business aviation. Its pioneering technology, combined with outstanding performance, will support Bombardier’s successful Global family of aircraft in reaching new standards in the ultra-long-range corporate jet market.

The new engine, which was developed in Germany, is currently being tested at Bombardier’s test centre in Kansas, Rolls-Royce said, to be fully operational by the end of 2019.
