Safran: to power Cessna Citation Hemisphere for NetJets
(CercleFinance.com) - NetJets has announced the option to purchase up to 150 Cessna Citation Hemisphere business jets powered by Safran's Silvercrest engine.
The Silvercrest engine is the only engine that is specifically designed for the high-end, wide-cabin business jet segment.
"We are thrilled with this joint announcement by two world leaders in the business jet market, a formidable springboard for the commercial success of the Hemisphere platform and the Silvercrest engine," said Olivier Andriès, Chief Executive Officer of Safran Aircraft Engines.
"With a combination of unrivaled fuel consumption, longer range and higher cruise speed, the Silvercrest-powered Hemisphere will also deliver excellent performance on short runways, a fast rate of climb and a reduced environmental footprint. The engine features the latest field-proven technologies, giving it unrivaled performance in its thrust class of 9,000 to 12,000 lb," the group said.
