The PW812D engine has proven its worth at every stage of a demanding development and flight test program. It received positive reviews from both Dassault Aviation pilots and maintenance technicians. Its fuel efficiency allows this larger Falcon to fly missions up to 5.500 nm/10.200 km.
Every element of the PW800 engine and its services has been designed with environmental responsibility in mind. The engine family is the most modern, efficient and environmentally responsible engine in its class. It offers doubly digital improvements in fuel consumption, emissions and noise compared to the current generation of engines. It can also fly on a 50% blend of aviation fuel A (kerosene) and sustainable alternative fuel (SAF), with 100% SAF testing being carried out for future in-service flights. The PW812D was routinely flown in SAF during the test campaign.
