Rolls-Royce Pearl 700

Few numbers matter more to an operator than what hangs on the wing or sits in the nacelle. The Rolls-Royce Pearl 700, from Rolls-Royce, is a turbofan for jet propulsion for airliners and business jets producing 18,250 lbf of thrust, in service since 2018.

The Rolls-Royce Pearl 700 is a next-generation turbofan engine developed for the Bombardier Global 6500 and 5500 ultra-long-range business jets, representing the first new engine Rolls-Royce has designed specifically for the business aviation market in over 50 years. It incorporates advanced CMC and titanium-aluminide turbine components from the Trent family, along with a new composite fan and full-authority digital engine control. The engine entered service in 2019 and is the most fuel-efficient engine in the large cabin business jet segment. Its applications include the Bombardier Global 5500 and Bombardier Global 6500 — and an engine's installed base matters commercially, because a widely flown type means deeper parts availability, more shop options and better residual liquidity.

For a turbofan, the commercial questions centre on fuel efficiency relative to the generation it competes with, the maturity of its support network, and — for any individual unit — its position in the shop-visit cycle, since a heavy shop visit is one of the largest single costs in aviation. When you compare quotes, insist on the engine's full history: cycles, shop visits, AD status and programme enrolment. HangarMart partners see current market pricing across conditions on request.
