Engine
All in a day’s work.
The Pratt & Whitney 535B engines of the Encore+ each deliver 3,400 pounds (15.12 kN) of static thrust with remarkable fuel efficiency. And now, these amazing engines are controlled by a three-detent throttle, which works with the pilot-workload-reducing full-authority digital engine controls (FADEC) to increase operational efficiencies even further. The wing design produces both low drag at high speeds and excellent handling at low speeds, offering superior short-field capabilities. And, under high, hot conditions, the aircraft's capability is among the very best in the business-jet world. You can climb directly to 45,000 feet (13,716 m) in just 27 minutes. Cruise at nearly 428 knots (793 km/h) - a mile above most weather and nearly two miles higher than the leading turboprop. Cover 1,780 nautical miles (3,297 km) with five passengers, plus crew and full fuel. Then, land smoothly using the aircraft's trailing-link gear system.
To a business, this extreme level of performance represents a powerful competitive edge. To the Encore+, it's all in a day's work. Which is exactly what you'd expect from the industry-acknowledged best light jet of all time.
