ONE Aviation revealed at the Eclipse Jet Owners and Pilots Association annual convention that it had selected the Williams International FJ33-5A-12 turbofan as the engine to power the EA700 Project Canada.
The Canada project was unveiled last year as an upgrade to the Eclipse 500/550. The Canada holds more fuel in a longer wing, with 2-foot extensions on each side, more cabin volume, with a 14-inch fuselage stretch, Garmin G3000 avionics, and more power with the FJ33 engines, according to company officials.

The Williams FJ33-5A-12 is a medium-bypass turbofan capable of producing up to 1,900 pounds of takeoff thrust at its full rating, but will be de-rated for installation on Canada to just under 1,200 pounds.

The FJ33 was originally certified in 2004, with the FJ33-5A variant certified in 2016.

FJ33-5A-12 will allow the aircraft to exceed the performance goals established for the project, company officials said.

Canada will now have a max cruise speed range in excess of 1,470 nm, with NBAA 100-nm reserves, and will be able to climb direct to its maximum operating altitude of 43,000 feet, even on hot days, company officials report.
