Rolls-Royce has revealed exclusively to Aviation International News details of an entirely new family of two-shaft engines under development to power business jets and large regional aircraft.

The UK company, fresh from its success in winning the all-out competition to power Dassault’s new business jet, said the aircraft is only the first in a series of potential applications. “We’re working on a family of engines producing between 6,000 and 20,000 pounds thrust,” said Rolls-Royce’s corporate and regional aircraft president, Ian Aitken.
