From a online article:
"A lot has happened since then. In June 2007, everyone was surprised when Dassault opted for the RB282-3 for its new–unnamed and not yet launched–super-midsize jet. The decision made propulsion history as it was the first time the French airframer had chosen UK-based Rolls-Royce to supply the power for one of its business jets.
Dassault’s selection of the Rolls-Royce RB282 marked the launch of a new range of two-shaft engines spanning the 6,000- to 30,000-pound-thrust range, aimed at “business jets and single-aisle commercial aircraft.”
For “confidentiality and competitive reasons,” Rolls-Royce is not revealing details of its all-new RB282. However, it appears certain that the new engine will feature technology from the Vision 10 advanced development program, which will include a forward-swept fan and an all-new core. It is being designed in the company’s engineering centers in Dahlewitz, Germany, and Indianapolis, Indiana, and will be assembled in the U.S. in a new facility under construction in Virginia, due to open at the end of 2009. "
This is a 10,000 lb thrust engine. I would expect
MGTOW of about 53-55,000 lbs. Range 4000-4500 nm. This is the super midsize market.
