ONE Aviation has selected the Williams International FJ33-5A-12 turbofan to power the EA700 “Project Canada”. The “Canada” project was announced last year as an upgrade to the Eclipse 500/550.

Relative to the EA550, 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. The Williams FJ33-5A-12 is a medium-bypass turbofan capable of producing up to 1900 lbs. of takeoff thrust at its full rating, but will be de-rated for installation on “Canada” to just under 1200 lb. Google co-founder Sergey Brin thinks the world needs a larger blimp, and he's hoping he can be the one to make it happen. Brin has proposed an airship that would cost in the neighborhood of $100 million and be the largest aircraft in the world. It would be used for humanitarian missions, such as moving critical supplies into areas that are difficult to access. Limited openings remain in EAA’s Women Soar You Soar  program, which strives to engage, inspire and educate young women to pursue their dreams in aviation and beyond. The program allows for high school-aged girls to explore career options, make discoveries and find new inspirations within aviation during EAA AirVenture Oshkosh, which is scheduled for July 24-30. The program will run from July 23-26 with registration open through June 15. All this -- and MORE in today's episode of Airborne!!!
