The improved DAC (Double Annular Combustor) combustion chamber significantly reduces NOx emissions, while the engine core structure is inherited and upgraded from previous generations, optimally balancing durability and fuel efficiency.

The engine fully meets ICAO's stringent environmental standards on emissions and noise, and is capable of using sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) in its blend, demonstrating SPA's commitment to green and environmentally friendly operations.
