Rolls-Royce (Booth 2043) plans to fly its first Pearl 10X engine for the ultra-long-range Dassault Falcon 10X in the second quarter of next year. Philipp Zeller, Rolls-Royce senior v-p for Dassault, said flight tests of the engine will be conducted on Roll-Royce’s Boeing 747-200 flying testbed in Tucson, Arizona. The tests will involve four engines that collectively will fly for approximately 100 hours. After successful flight testing, the engines will be shipped to Dassault.

Dassault unveiled plans for the 115,000-pound mtow Falcon 10X in May 2021. The French aircraft manufacturer expects the $75 million, 7,500-nm twinjet to enter service in 2025.
