Allison Engines has become a commercial-turbofan manufacturer for the first time with the certification of its AE 3007C by the US Federal Aviation Administration. The 33.5kN (7,500lb)-thrust turbofan is produced in two slightly de-rated versions for the Cessna Citation X business jet at 28.5kN, and just over 32kN for the Embraer EMB-145 regional jet.
