Rolls-Royce and Gulfstream are celebrating today as the Gulfstream V (GV) aircraft family achieves one million flying hours. The Rolls-Royce BR710 powers the GV, GV-SP, G500 and G550.
This year also marks the 15th anniversary of the BR710’s entry-into-service. More than 1,750 BR710 engines are currently in service and have accumulated more than 4 million flying hours across a range of business jet applications. The engine has established the lowest specific fuel consumption (SFC) levels in its thrust class.
Scott Shannon, Rolls-Royce, executive vice president, customer business said: “We congratulate Gulfstream on this milestone for the GV family, the first aircraft to be powered by our BR710 engine. The GV has delivered outstanding performance and reliability and we are proud to have played our part in its success.”
