GE Aviation’s CT7-2F1 engine achieves FAA certification:
26 March, 2019: GE Aviation’s CT7-2F1 receives type certification by the Federal Aviation Administration.
This milestone is a giant leap forward for Bell 525 Relentless which is powered by CT7-2F1 and is the world’s first fly-by-wire commercial helicopter, designed to operate safely and reliably in austere environments and with decreased pilot workload.
The engine has a new and improved-life high-pressure turbine, Engine Electronic Control Unit and a Health & Usage Monitoring System (HUMS). The CT7-2F1 is fuel efficient and provides reliable power in a variety of roles.
“Achieving FAA certification is a great accomplishment for the CT7-2F1 programme and the dedicated team involved,” said Elissa Lee, GE Aviation executive product manager. “We are proud to support the Bell 525 Relentless with an engine designed to meet its performance objectives.”
