Just a short one today... I've talked about the benefits of owning an older aircraft, if it is a solid, and at least reasonably well supported platform. This example of the Astra SPX, which became and essentially is a Gulfstream 100, with a new interior is an interesting prospect. An avionics upgrade is, in my opinion, something a potential purchaser should price in. As nice as this aircraft looks, it needs future proofing... and a solid PPI. But, it could be a very good option.

Rolls-Royce has begun testing its newest business aviation engine, the Pearl 10X, which will be used to power Dassault’s Falcon 10X. They're conducting these tests on a Boeing 747 that's been converted into a flying test platform, gathering important data about how well the engine performs. In fact, the amount of data they're collecting is more than what an average household in the UK would use. This engine is part of Rolls-Royce's advanced Pearl family and represents their first venture into Dassault's business jet sector. During these flight tests, which are crucial for ensuring the engine's reliability and efficiency, pilots and engineers are carrying out thorough assessments. Rolls-Royce's Flying Test Bed in Arizona is where they're doing these tests in real-world conditions, which helps them refine and confirm the engine's development processes.

G650 / G650ER Mission & Performance The G650 & G650ER are clean-sheet business jets produced by Gulfstream Aerospace. Representing two commercial designations of Gulfstream’s GVI type, the G650 was announced by the airframe #manufacturer on March 13, 2008, & made its first flight on Nov. 25, 2009. Subsequently, the GVI type was certified by the FAA on Sept. 7, 2012, ahead of the G650’s entry into service in December 2012. An enhanced version of the GVI, the G650ER, debuted on May 19, 2014, at the European Business Aviation Convention & Exhibition (EBACE 2023) #Pilots operate both the G650 & G650ER by utilising Gulfstream's PlaneView II #flight deck, #avionics that are based on Honeywell’s Primus Epic integrated avionics system & which include “four large-format displays.” Powering both GVI #commercial designations are a pair of Rolls-Royce (Rolls-Royce Deutschland Ltd & Co KG) BR700-725A1-12 turbofan engines that have a rated #takeoff thrust of 16,900 lb. Although those specifications are the same, the MTOW of the GVI-based #airframe’s differ, with the G650 limited to a 99,600-lb. MTOW & the G650ER increasing that limitation to 103,600 lb. Similarly, the G650ER’s maximum fuel capacity of 48,200 lb. is greater than the G650’s 44,200-lb. capacity because the former features #wing tanks that can carry 4,000 lb. of additional fuel. The operating #limitations of the GVI type include a maximum operating #Mach number (MMO) of 0.925 Mach & a maximum operating level of FL510. Both airframes have been #certified for “steep approach #landing operations” by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) & EASA - European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA). #businessjet’s are awesome! #bizjet #bizav

Rolls-Royce Engines The story of Rolls-Royce aviation engines is one of relentless innovation and engineering excellence. Since their first aircraft engine in 1914, Rolls-Royce has become synonymous with the cutting edge of aerospace technology. From the legendary Merlin engines that powered WWII Spitfires to the ultra-efficient Trent family driving today's modern airliners, Rolls-Royce engines are at the heart of aviation history and its future. Their commitment to sustainability is also noteworthy, as they lead the charge in developing greener propulsion systems, aiming for net-zero carbon emissions. Rolls-Royce engines don't just power aircraft, they power progress. #RollsRoyce #Aviation #AerospaceEngineering #Innovation #Sustainability #AircraftEngines #AviationHistory #FutureOfFlight #GreenAviation #EngineeringExcellence

Hundreds of A320neos are set to be grounded over the next three years as Pratt is forced to inspect its PW1100G engines due to faults regarding powdered metal used across several of its components.

#AircraftCertification is a marathon, not a sprint. Last week Gulfstream Aerospace recieved it’s aircraft type certification on the Gulfstream 700 - #G700 (pictured below). #signed #sealed #certified Congrats team!! Defined: A type certificate signifies the #airworthiness of a particular category of aircraft, according to its manufacturing design (type design). #Certification confirms that the aircraft of a new type intended for serial production is in compliance with applicable airworthiness requirements established by the national air law. For all of those following along on the #AAM side, #Gulfstream announced the G700 in 2018. This is a company that was started in 1929. Almost 100 years later and we have maintained #safety in the sky throughout decades of expansion. Let’s remember to keep realistic conversations in step when discussing #futureaviation goals as we usher in new #electric & #hybrid aircraft over the upcoming decades. Lace up those trainers and hydrate kids… it’s going to be quite a run! #collaboration #businessaviation #aircraftmanagement #privateaviation #advancedairmobility #worldwide #aviationconsulting #emergingaviation #typecertification #sustainableaviation #evtol Global Aerial Management Group (GAMG) Prestige Air Group Read More: https://lnkd.in/gTteXr8v

Cirium Ascend Consultancy Value Review Board has concluded a number of Market Value changes to business aviation types in February 2024. Bombardier’s Challenger 604/605/650 models saw a range of change; -14% through 16% on the CL604, as much as 8% decrease on the CL605. Gulfstream’s GV fell by 5%, Pilatus PC-12 NGX models fell by 7-8%, while minimal to no changes took place on the CL650, G280, PC-12NG/47 and the Cessna 208 Caravan. Market normalization is visibly occurring, but there is no clear theme of drastic change happening to-date.  Cirium #businessaviation

🤔 #DYK | Even the very first #ATR, the 42-300 launched in 1984, placed great emphasis on the use of composites, something that was practically unheard of at the time! ✈️ ATRs were the first turboprops to feature composite propellers, and in 1988 the ATR 72 became the world’s first civil aircraft with a carbon-fibre outer wing box.
