Rolls-Royce achieved a milestone with the delivery of its 1000th BR725 engine to Gulfstream Aerospace. The engine was developed and assembled at Rolls-Royce headquarters in Dahlewitz, Germany, and shipped over to the US.
Dirk Geisinger, Director of Business Aviation, Rolls-Royce, said: "Our partnership with Gulfstream started some 60 years ago, is a real success story and it will continue into the future with the Pearl 700, which powers the Gulfstream G700 and the Gulfstream G800.”
Jörg Au, Chief Engineer Business Aviation, Rolls-Royce, said: “The BR725 engine is a pinnacle of engineering excellence, having accumulated almost 1,5 million engine flying hours over the past decade while setting new benchmarks for reliability and performance. Reaching the incredible milestone of the 1,000th engine delivery is a momentous occasion for both Rolls‑Royce and Gulfstream, and I couldn’t be prouder of the great team behind this product. We are looking forward to delivering many more engines to Gulfstream and to servicing our BR725 customers for decades to come.”
According to Rolls-Royce, the BR725 engine exclusively powers Gulfstream’s ultra-long-range Gulfstream G650 and Gulfstream G650ER business aircraft and holds a world record for speed and agility.
