| The
BR715 is the best engine available for the 100
seater market featuring latest technology to reduce
airlines' operating costs drastically - and minimizing
the effects on the environment. |
|
| First certificated
in 1998, the BR715 powers the Boeing 717-200 serving
major airlines, regional operators and start-up
companies alike. The BR715 has the lowest Specific
Fuel Consumption (SFC) in its class. It runs cooler
and with a lower parts loading than its competitors
translating directly into lower maintenance costs. |
|
| Another main
benefit for BR715 operators is the outstanding
performance of the engine during extreme short
flights which can lead to 12 or more take-offs
and landings per day, seven days a week. These
high-cyclic demands combined with flying in harsh
environmental conditions (volcanic ashes, hot
& high) are being met by the BR715 thanks
to its wide-chord fan blades, robust turbo machinery
with shrouded blades and advanced cooling techniques. |

Environment
The BR715 is the cleanest and greenest engine
in its class. It meets current and future environmental
regulations for emissions and noise. The low certificated
noise levels for the BR715 contribute to making
the Boeing 717 the quietest aircraft available
today. Due to its low emissions burner and the
excellent fuel burn characteristics, the BR715
produces less volume of pollutants into the atmosphere
than any competing engine. |

Technical
details
The BR715 is a two-shaft, high-bypass ratio engine.
The basic engine architecture consists of a 58
inch diameter wide-chord fan; a single piece two-stage
booster machined from solid titanium forgings;
a 10-stage HP compressor; a combustion system
consisting of an annular combustor with 20 fuel
burners; a two-stage HP turbine and three-stage
LP turbine. The structural bypass duct is built
from titanium. Cold bypass air and hot exhaust
are combined in a forced mixer that gives good
propulsive efficiency and low noise generation. |
