Honeywell (Stand 7044) has completed certification of its HTF7250G engine, which powers the in-development supermidsize Gulfstream G250, and is progressing with the development of the HTF7500E for the midlight/midsize Embraer Legacy 450/500. The U.S.-based manufacturer is also working on upgrades for the HTF7000, in service on the supermidsize Bombardier Challenger 300.

The 7,445-pound HTF7250G turbofan was FAA certified for the G250 on March 18. One year ago, the company hoped it would meet this milestone in late 2010. “The engine meets Gulfstream’s requirements for the G250,” Ron Rich, Honeywell’s vice president for propulsion, told AIN. The engine manufacturer is now supporting the G250 flight tests. Next will be the beginning of the production phase. “In fact, it has already started–Gulfstream’s test engines were built according to our production processes,” Rich said.
