Calcutta,
19 March, 2015 – The AE 3007 turbofan core is derived from the AE 1107 engine and
is the 8,000 lbf thrust class. Initially developed to create a turbofan member
of the AE common core family for the growing regional jet and medium/large
business jet markets, further development created a growth version for military
aircraft applications.
The AE 3007 turbofan engine is a high bypass, two shaft engine
featuring a wide-chord single-stage low pressure( LP) compressor, 14-stage high
pressure(HP) compressor followed by effusion-cooled annular combustor, two
stage high pressure (HP) turbine and a three stage low pressure(LP) turbine.
A single AE 3007H engine allows the Northrop Grumman RQ-4A
Global hawk to fly at 65,000 feet providing the fuel efficiency required as
well as the electrical power necessary to fly surveillance missions up to 30
hours at altitudes over 11 fly miles high. The system has already proven itself
over the skies of Afghanistan and Iraq. Triton a high altitude unmanned
aircraft is also providing power to fly surveillance missions up to 24 hours at
altitude over 10 miles high.
Two AE 3007A1P engines power the Embraer 145 special version
aircraft used for intelligence, reconnaissance and surveillance missions.
