The BR715 turbofan outperforms all in its class.
Specifically designed and exclusively chosen for the Boeing 717, it offers high performance, environmental benefits, low ownership costs and low risk technology.
Quiet, reliable, efficient
The 100-seat Boeing 717-200 is exclusively powered by two Rolls-Royce BR715 turbofans.
Each BR715 uses the same highly efficient BR700 engine core as the BR710, suitable for high cyclic operation and thrusts between 14,000lb and 21,500lb.
What’s more, it’s designed for up to 20 per cent improved fuel burn, relative to other current engines in its thrust class.

Technology
Uses the same highly efficient BR700 engine core as the BR710, suitable for high cyclic operation and thrusts between 14,000lb and 21,500lb.
Two-shaft, high-bypass-ratio engine.
Both the BR710 and the BR715, incorporate the BR700 core engine, with a ten-stage HP compressor, a single low emissions annular combustor with 20 burners and a two-stage shrouded HP turbine. All stages are optimised to keep noise to a minimum.
Different thrust levels of the two engines are realised by adapting the LP systems.
The BR715 features a 58 inch diameter fan and a two-stage booster driven by a three-stage LP turbine.
