RR500 TurbopropUshering in a new era for General Aviation

The RR500 Turboprop engine is a new and exciting addition to the Rolls-Royce family of engines. The RR500 Turboprop is the

premier choice for value conscious operators seeking the multi-fuel benefits and performance of turbine power.

The engine delivers greater speed, improved comfort, increased reliability and unmatched operational capability in a compact

power dense design. All of this is available in a power plant offering excellent value and lower lifecycle costs.

Rolls-Royce has unmatched turboprop engine experience that assures the RR500 operator of outstanding performance and

global support. Additionally, the RR500 Turboprop is well suited for STC conversions of popular general aviation aircraft to

turbine power.

Key benefits of the RR500 Turboprop include:

Multi-fuel capability – AvGas independence

Low pilot workload

Extremely quiet, smooth operation

10 dB or better reduction in cabin noise

Excellent power-to-weight ratio

Half the weight of equivalent pistons

RR500 Turboprop

Unimpeded climb-to-altitude performance

Fast, efficient flight profiles

Reliable responsive power

Reduced block times

Extended shop visit interval

Low or high speed propeller speed options

RR500 Turboprop is a cost-effective solution for a

new direction in general aviation.
