Dassault terminates Silvercrest; cancels Falcon 5X

Thu Dec 14, 2017 7:20 am

"Serious delays in the development of the Silvercrest engine have forced Dassault to terminate its agreement with Safran, and cancel the Falcon 5X programme."

Boy ... I bet someone owes Dassault a large pile of cash!

I've never heard of a engine maker causing a airframe maker to cancel a whole program (excepting WWII).

Meanwhile Textron Aviation are sticking with it for the Hemisphere.

That looks like hoping Safran cancel the programme and pay penalty clauses though. I really wonder if the programme can survive without it's major customer?
