The Rolls-Royce RB211 is a British family of high-bypass turbofan engines made by Rolls-Royce. The engines are capable of generating 41,030 to 59,450 lbf (182.5 to 264.4 kN) of thrust . The RB211 engine was the first production three-spool engine and turned Rolls-Royce from a significant player in the aero-engine industry into a global leader.
Around 13:42 UTC (20:42 Jakarta time), the number-four Rolls-Royce RB211 engine began surging and soon flamed out. The flight crew immediately performed the engine shutdown drill, quickly cutting off fuel supply and arming the fire extinguishers. Less than a minute later, at 13:43 UTC (20:43 Jakarta time), engine two surged and flamed out.
Five minutes later, the #1 engine flamed out while the crew was attempting to restart the #2 engine. [2] Cabin lights went off and flight deck instruments stopped working. The aircraft descended without power from about 13,000 feet (4,000 m) to about 4,000 feet (1,200 m), at a rate of descent of approximately 1,600 feet (490 m) per minute. [ 7 ]
It was also powered by two Rolls-Royce RB211-535E4 engines. [2] [3]: ... failure of the pressure switch and subsequent total failure of the hydraulic system ...
The Rolls-Royce Trent is a family of high-bypass turbofans produced by Rolls-Royce. It continues the three spool architecture of the RB211 with a maximum thrust ranging from 61,900 to 97,000 lbf (275 to 431 kN ).
It was powered by two Rolls-Royce RB211-535E4 engines. After Eastern Air Lines' bankruptcy and subsequent liquidation in 1991, the aircraft was stored at the Mojave Air and Space Port for more than a year.
Rolls-Royce, which operates across defense, aerospace and power systems, reported an operating profit of £1.6 billion ($2 billion) for the year, up about 144% from 2022’s £652 million ($826 ...
When Airbus launched its A330 twin-jet in June 1987, its only engine options included the General Electric CF6-80C2 and the Pratt & Whitney PW4000. [4] Rolls-Royce was studying whether to launch a RB211-700, 65,000 lbf (290 kN) development of the RB211 for the A330, the long-range Boeing 767 and McDonnell Douglas MD-11, derived from the Boeing 747-400's -524D4D, with growth potential to 70,000 ...
