Rolls-Royce Completes BR725 Engine Test

Rolls-Royce last month made the first run of the 16,000-pound-thrust BR725 engine at its facility in Dahlewitz, Germany. The turbofan was selected to power the new Gulfstream G650, which was unveiled in mid-April.

Initial flight-test engines will be delivered to Gulfstream later this year, and the G650 is slated to fly in the second half of next year.
