The engines have a single lever full authority digital engine control (FADEC). There is no mixture or prop pitch control as it is all handled by the FADEC. Redundant power for the FADEC electronics comes from two small alternators inside the engine. Both the V-220 and the V-300T are designed to use either 100LL or unleaded auto fuel (92 RON for the V-220 and 98 RON for the V-300T).

Bombardier expects type certification in 2004 and first deliveries in 2005. Bombardier plans a staged market entry, with FAR part 23 OEM applications being addressed first. STC retrofit and experimental markets will be addressed after some experience has been gained with the OEM applications. The engines are being developed under Bombardier's Recreational Products division. Bombardier, Inc. is a global manufacturing and services company headquartered in Montreal, Canada. Bombardier's Aerospace division manufactures regional and business jets and turboprops as well as the Bombardier 415 amphibian.
