THE FIRST THRUST reverser for the BMW Rolls-Royce BR710 engine has been sent by manufacturer Hurel-Dubois to R-R's engine-test site at Hucknall, UK. The system includes a Hurel-Dubois reverser design which combines target-type and pivoting-door reversers. Hurel- Dubois has responsibility for the design, development, supply and subsequent in-service support of the complete nacelle for the BR710. The engine has been selected to power the Gulfstream V and Bom-bardier Global Express business jets. The work on the total nacelle is being carried out in conjunction with Short Brothers under the companies' International Nacelle System joint venture.
