Description

The AE3007 turbofan core is derived from the AE1107 engine and is in the 8,000lb thrust class. It was developed to provide a turbofan member of the AE common core family for the growing regional jet and medium/large business jet markets.

The AE3007 powers the Cessna Citation X business jet, for which the engine was certificated in early 1996; and the 50-seat Embraer RJ 145 and 37-seat ERJ 135 twin-turbofan regional transports, which are now in service. In September 1999, Embraer selected the AE3007A to power the 44-seat ERJ 140.

A growth version, the AE3007H developed for the Northrop Grumman Ryan Aeronautical Centre Global Hawk unmanned surveillance aircraft, is in flight test with the US Air Force.
