Rolls-Royce has started testing its newest engine for private jets, the Pearl 10X, which will be used in Dassault’s Falcon 10X plane.
These tests are happening on a Boeing 747 that’s been turned into a flying test lab. They’re collecting important data about how the engine performs, which is even more data than what an average household in the UK uses.
The Pearl 10X engine is part of Rolls-Royce’s advanced Pearl family. It’s the first time Rolls-Royce is making an engine for Dassault’s business jets.
Testing flights are crucial because they help make sure the engine works well and uses fuel efficiently. Both pilots and engineers are doing thorough checks during these flights.
Rolls-Royce has a special flying test lab in Arizona, where these tests are taking place. It’s an important place for testing engines in real-life conditions, which helps make sure they’re safe and reliable.
