In 1972, Rae received a University Fellowship sponsored by Rolls-Royce which she used to fund her research full-time for three years and part-time for two years after the birth of her son. Rae took time out of research for the birth of, and to raise, her first daughter, and this was extended by the birth of her second daughter and the recession ...
The wings were equipped with triple-slotted flaps for short-field operations. A new 10,000 lb (4,536 kg) thrust Rolls-Royce RB.203 Trent turbofan was selected to power the aircraft. [3] Fairchild estimated orders of 260-460 aircraft for the US market and 600-800 Internationally.
Rolls-Royce Limited was a British luxury car and later an aero-engine manufacturing business established in 1904 in Manchester by the partnership of Charles Rolls and Henry Royce. Building on Royce's good reputation established with his cranes, they quickly developed a reputation for superior engineering by manufacturing luxury cars.
The Fokker F28 Fellowship is a twin-engined, short-range jet airliner designed and built by Dutch aircraft manufacturer Fokker.. Following the Fokker F27 Friendship, an early and commercially successful turboprop-powered regional airliner, Fokker decided to embark on developing a new turbojet-powered commuter aircraft that would build upon its experiences with the F27.
A key innovation of the F27 was the adoption of the Rolls-Royce Dart turboprop engine, which produced substantially less vibration and noise which provided improved conditions for passengers; another major comfort feature was cabin pressurisation. Innovative manufacturing techniques were also employed in the aircraft's construction.
In 2009 he was awarded a four-year Royal Society Industry Fellowship with Rolls-Royce. He continues to support the development of Rolls-Royce's standard aerodynamic design tool, which underpins the way that Rolls-Royce now designs and builds its turbo-fan engines.
The Rolls-Royce Spey (company designations RB.163 and RB.168 and RB.183) is a low-bypass turbofan engine originally designed and manufactured by Rolls-Royce that has been in widespread service for over 40 years.
