The Rolls-Royce AE 3007 (US military: F137) is a turbofan engine produced by Rolls-Royce North America, sharing a common core with the Rolls-Royce T406 (AE 1107) and AE 2100. The engine was originally developed by the Allison Engine Company, hence the "AE" in the model number.
Development
In 1988,
On March 23, 1990, Allison's GMA 3007 was selected to power the
The engine was first ground tested in mid-1991.In 1995,
More than 3,400 engines have been delivered.[5] In 2014, 2,976 civil engines were installed.[6] In 2017, the AE 3007 in the ERJ family had flown over 53 million hours and over 44 million cycles.[7] It was flown for more than 60 million hours.[8] The engine is manufactured at the Rolls-Royce North America engine plant in Indianapolis, Indiana.[9]
