The Rolls-Royce BR700 is a family of turbofan engines for regional jets and corporate jets. It is manufactured in Dahlewitz , Germany , by Rolls-Royce Deutschland : this was initially a joint venture of BMW and Rolls-Royce plc established in 1990 to develop this engine.
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 ...
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).
AE 3007 on an Embraer ERJ 145. In 1988, Allison Engine Company (then owned by General Motors) and Rolls-Royce plc began joint studies of a 33 kN (7,400 lb f) RB580 to power the proposed Short Brothers FJX regional jet, combining the T406 core with a Rolls-Royce low-pressure spool.
Early work involved the development and production of the BR700 family of jet engines, launched in 1992. During 1999, it was announced that BMW was to discontinue direct involvement in the venture, leading to Rolls-Royce assuming full control in the following year and to the business being renamed Rolls-Royce Deutschland.
The Rolls-Royce Trent 1000 is a high-bypass turbofan engine produced by Rolls-Royce, one of the two engine options for the Boeing 787 Dreamliner, competing with the General Electric GEnx.
The Trent 900 is an axial flow, high bypass turbofan with the three coaxial shafts of the Rolls-Royce Trent family. The 2.95 m (116 in) fan with swept blades is driven by a 5-stage LP turbine, the 8-stage IP compressor and the 6-stage HP compressor are both powered by a single stage turbine, with the HP spool rotating in the opposite direction of the others.
Allison manufactured the TF41 under license, while Rolls-Royce supplied parts common to existing Speys. [2] The TF41 was developed for use in the LTV A-7D Corsair II for the USAF, and the US Navy's A-7E. Between 1968 and 1983, a total of 1,440 TF41s were delivered. [3]
