Gleaming on the Safran display (Stand 357) is a mock-up of the Snecma Silvercrest engine, which has been selected for the Cessna Citation Longitude super-midsize business jet. Displaying the model, which was first shown a few weeks ago at NBAA, underlines the fact that Silvercrest is now a program moving fast towards certification in 2015. Ground tests have already started (see MEBA Convention News, Tuesday) and the first flight trials on the right-hand nacelle of a specially modified Gulfstream II are scheduled to begin in the summer.
