Honeywell’s new HTF7500E engine has reached a flight-test milestone of 20 flights and more than 140 test hours on the OEM’s B757 flying test bed. The energy-efficient engine will power Embraer’s new Legacy 450 and Legacy 500 series aircraft, and test flights will start on the jets during the second half of 2011.

According to Honeywell (Stand 7044), the new combustor technology on the HTF7500 will reduce nitrous oxide (NOx) levels by 25 percent, a level well below International Civil Aviation Organization limits. NOx is a major greenhouse gas and air pollutant. Considered over a 100-year period, it has 298 times more global warming potential than carbon dioxide.
