Liebherr-Aerospace has been selected to supply the pneumatic component package for Rolls-Royce's next-generation business jet engine Pearl 700: Both the pneumatic valves and the actuation devices that control pneumatic power around the engine have been designed, are manufactured and serviced by Liebherr-Aerospace Toulouse SAS, Toulouse (France).
Liebherr-Aerospace Toulouse SAS provides Rolls-Royce with lightweight, high-reliability valves and actuation devices that match the requirements of the Pearl 700 engine program, the most powerful in the Rolls-Royce business jet propulsion portfolio. The Pearl 700 is the latest member of Rolls-Royce's Pearl® engine family and the exclusive power plant for the new Gulfstream G700.
The new contract is another important step in the relationship between Rolls-Royce and Liebherr-Aerospace: In 2015, both companies established a 50:50 joint venture called Aerospace Transmission Technologies GmbH. It is based in Friedrichshafen (Germany) and develops manufacturing capability and capacity for the power gearbox for Rolls-Royce's new UltraFan™ engine.
In addition, the engine manufacturer has selected Liebherr-Aerospace to supply a pneumatic valve for the Trent 7000 engine.
