Silvercrest

To carve out a position in the growth market of business aviation, Snecma has designed a new-generation engine called Silvercrest.

Developing 9,500 to 12,000 pounds of thrust, the Silvercrest engine is designed to power super-midsize to large business jets, and eventually regional jets with 40 to 60 seats. Its design was optimized to meet emerging requirements in the business aviation market. Among the many advantages of this new-generation engine are a simplified architecture, reduced parts count to cut maintenance cost, and lower specific fuel consumption. Environmental friendliness was also designed into the Silvercrest, which offers low noise and emissions.

The Silvercrest features exceptional climb and cruise thrust, at least 20% better than current engines in the same class.
