Solex carburetors were widely used by many European makers [2] and under license to Mikuni in Asia until the mid-1980s when fuel injection was widely adopted. Among the European companies which used Solex carburetors were: Rolls-Royce Motors, Alfa Romeo, Bristol, Fiat, Audi, Ford, BMW, Citroën, Opel, Simca, Saab, Singer Motors, Renault, Peugeot, Lancia, Land Rover Series, Lada, Mercedes-Benz ...
Interior view of a turbomolecular pump. A turbomolecular pump is a type of vacuum pump, superficially similar to a turbopump, used to obtain and maintain high vacuum. [1] [2] These pumps work on the principle that gas molecules can be given momentum in a desired direction by repeated collision with a moving solid surface.
The Rolls-Royce Gnome is a British turboshaft engine originally developed by the de Havilland Engine Company as a licence-built General Electric T58, an American mid-1950s design. [1]
The company's first major product was an oil cooler for military aircraft. Garrett designed and produced oil coolers for the Douglas DB-7. [9] Boeing's B-17 bombers, credited with substantially tipping the air war in America's and Great Britain's favor over Europe and the Pacific, were outfitted with Garrett intercoolers, as was the B-25.

Part of an axial turbopump designed and built for the M-1 rocket engine. A turbopump is a propellant pump with two main components: a rotodynamic pump and a driving gas turbine, usually both mounted on the same shaft, or sometimes geared together.
Wright R-3350 Duplex-Cyclone Turbo-Compound radial engine.. The first aircraft engine to be tested with a power-recovery turbine was the Rolls-Royce Crecy.This was used primarily to drive a geared centrifugal supercharger, although it was also coupled to the crankshaft and gave an extra 15 to 35 percent fuel economy.
The engine was designed for the Hughes AH-64 Apache and Sikorsky UH-60 Blackhawk, competing with the General Electric T700 and the Pratt & Whitney Canada PW100.The partners shared the £100 million development costs equally, Rolls-Royce made the turbines, the combustor, and the inlet particle separator while Turbomeca produced the axial-centrifugal compressor and intake.
The 6G7 series or Cyclone V6 engine is a series of V6 piston engines from Mitsubishi Motors.Five displacement variants were produced from 1986 to 2021, with both SOHC and DOHC, naturally aspirated and turbo charged layouts.
