The 13th of december, Daussault Aviation annonced that they are going to cancel, because of numerous delivery and performance problems, the contract they had with Safran Engines, subsidiary of Safran.
Dassault finally said it's enough
" Silvercrest motor from Safran in conformity with the contract we signed initially had to be delivered at the end of 2013 to make the aircraft test on Falcon 5X plane. Safran encountered successive difficulties to develop the motor as they said originally " communicated the avionist
Because of the difficulties that Safran had to face with, Dassault lost approximately an amount of 12 orders in 2016 because of delivery problems of Safran. As the motor wasn't conform, the aircraft test begun the 5th of July, but was already limited because of the motor capabilities. Dassault annonced that they are going to manufacture a new plane which takes plan of the the Falcon 5X with a motor build by Pratt and Whitney.
Safran Engines failures
Safran already had major issues with his motor in 2015 and 2016 and established a new calendar to change motor delivery from 2017 to 2020 that reprensent 3 years late only due to the Safran's subsidiary. As said before this problems affraid final clients and Dassault had about 12 contract cancelations. Troubles came from the high pressure compressor. That is a mess for Safran because it was the first motor they built in entirety.
" Contractual penalties from developing motor had been paid so Safran confirm his prospect for 2017" said Safran Engines
A new plane for 2022 with Pratt and Whitney
Dassault will build another plane that take design and technology of Falcon 5X, this plane will cover long distance, 5500km and should fly in 2022. The french company already contracted Pratt and Whitney, canadian motor constructor.
"Needs from clients for a long range and large cabin stay the same, so we decided to launch a projet for a new Falcon plane with a Pratt & Whitney Canada motor" said Éric Trappier, CEO of Dassault Aviation.
