Rolls-Royce Celebrates 25 Million Flight Hours On AE Engine Family

Includes Turboprop, Turbofan Variants

Rolls-Royce announced this week the enginemaker has exceeded 25 million hours of service on corporate and regional aircraft with its AE family of turboprop and turbofan engines.

The AE 3007 powers the Embraer ERJ 145 family of regional aircraft, the Embraer Legacy 600 business jet and the Cessna Citation X. The AE 2100 powers the high-speed Saab 2000 turboprop aircraft.

The AE 3007 engine, which entered service in 1996, has achieved 21 million engine hours on the Embraer ERJ aircraft, and two million hours in corporate operation. The AE 2100 has accumulated more than two million engine hours in regional turboprop service.

There are more than 1200 AE 3007 powered regional and corporate aircraft and more than 50 AE 2100 aircraft in service today, according to Rolls-Royce.

"The AE program is among the most successful programs in Rolls-Royce history," said Ian Aitken, Rolls-Royce President of Corporate and Regional Aircraft. "We are proud of the strong business partnerships we have with Embraer and Cessna on the AE 3007 program and Saab on the AE 2100 program. To achieve 25 million engine flight hours reflects the performance, reliability and efficiency of not only the engine itself but also the engineering, manufacturing and services teams dedicated to the program."

There have been nearly 2,800 AE engines produced to date for all applications. Due to 70% parts commonality, the AE common core engines provide operators with worldwide availability of parts and support; reduced operating costs through streamlined global support; training; shared lessons- learned; military qualification; and international civil certification.
