PROPULSION
Pearl programme thrusts engine maker back to centre stage
The surprise launch of the Global
5500 and 6500 business jets fi-
nally reveals a secret, six-year-old
development and certification
programme for the Rolls-Royce
Pearl 15, a new family of engines
dedicated to preserving the man-
ufacturer’s presence in the large-
cabin sector for the next
generation of business jets.
“We are pretty confident it is
the most efficient engine core in
the business aviation market,”
says Richard Goodhead, R-R’s
senior vice-president of market-
ing. The striking visual in the
EBACE static display of two re-
cently certificated Pearl 15 en-
gines installed on a flying Global
6500 flight-test aircraft reset a
public narrative that has long
questioned R-R’s continued rel-
evance in a large cabin market
that it had once dominated.
Only four years ago, R-R’s cen-
tre for business jet engines in
Dahlewitz, Germany seemed cast
adrift. Gulfstream, a longtime part-
ner, had selected Pratt & Whitney
Canada’s PW800 engine to power
the G500 and G600. Bombardier,
another strong R-R client, had se-
lected GE Aviation’s Passport en-
gine for the Global 7000 in 2010.
To an outsider, it appeared that
R-R’s long dominance of the en-
gine market for large cabin aircraft
was over, with no new applications
for the company’s future
Advance2 propulsion concept.
But it was all an elaborate
smokescreen. Bombardier se-
lected the Advance2 concept in
secret in 2012 to power an equal-
ly quiet re-engining of the Global
5500 and Global 6500.
Keeping competitors in the
dark, R-R breezed through a se-
ries of milestones on the new
Pearl 15, which is named after
rivers in the southeast of China
and the USA. The first ground test
was completed in 2015, says
Goodhead. A fleet of six test en-
gines has compiled more than
6,000 cycles on 2,000 test hours,
he adds. The European Aviation
Safety Agency certificated the
Pearl 15 last February, although
the type certificate data sheets
were not released publicly.
The layout of the Pearl 15’s
core is strikingly similar to the
company’s BR.725. It features a
10-stage high-pressure compres-
In the cockpit, pilots will expe- sor, although with six instead of
rience the familiar layout of the
Rockwell Collins ProLine Fusion-
based Vision flight deck – with
one extra feature. The Global 5500
and 6500 will become the first
new business jets to feature a true
combined vision system (CVS),
with an infrared video image over-
laid on a synthetic graphic. The
current Vision flight deck offers
both images on separate displays.
As the US Federal Aviation Ad-
ministration completes an ongo-
ing rulemaking process, the CVS
should eventually allow Global
5500 and 6500 operators to com-
plete landings in weather condi-
tions that would be prohibitive for
other aircraft lacking such tech-
nology, Bombardier says. ■
five stages of blisks. The com-
pression ratio is 50% higher, rising
to 24:1 on a faster rotation speed
and a more advanced cooling
system, Goodhead says. It uses a
new combustor that leverages
advances introduced on the Trent
XWB family. Like the BR.725, the
Pearl 15 uses a two-stage high-
pressure turbine.
The low-pressure section also
bears a similar profile to the
BR.725, yet is significantly more
efficient in operation. The 24 tita-
nium fan blades match the pro-
file and 50in-diameter of the
BR.725, but use a lighter fan con-
tainment system.
The result is a 7% increase in
thrust-specific fuel consumption
compared with the BR.710, which
is the engine it replaces on the
Global 5000 and 6000. ■
