Rolls-Royce (Booth X93) is wrapping up testing on its Pearl 700 engine for the ultra-long-range Gulfstream G700 and shifting to “production mode,” said Colm Golden, Rolls-Royce's senior v-p for the Pearl 700 program. The company has delivered several production engine shipsets to the OEM since handing over the first ones late last year and already has issued two-thirds of the necessary certification reports.

Meanwhile, Golden reports that the test campaign on the Pearl 10X for Dassault’s large-cabin flagship is also proceeding well. Both the Pearl 700 and 10X are rated to produce more than 18,000 pounds of thrust and deliver significant increases in efficiency.
