The in-service fleet of Honeywell’s HTF7000 turbofans powering Bombardier Challenger 300s reached one million flight hours in April. More than 600 engines are operating in the field and Honeywell says dispatch reliability stands at 99.94 to 99.95 percent.

“We’re very proud of this,” said Rob Wilson, Honeywell’s president of business and general aviation. Importantly, the HTF7000’s younger siblings–the HTF7500E and the HTF7250G–will feature improved combustion technology that is set to deliver 25-percent reductions in emissions to help operators meet the industry’s commitments to reducing its carbon footprint. The new system will be available as a retrofit for the HTF7000 turbofan.
