The bypass ratio (BPR) of a turbofan engine is the ratio between the mass flow rate of the bypass stream to the mass flow rate entering the core. [1] A 10:1 bypass ratio, for example, means that 10 kg of air passes through the bypass duct for every 1 kg of air passing through the core.
The Rolls-Royce Trent 7000 is a high-bypass turbofan engine produced by Rolls-Royce, an iteration of the Trent family powering exclusively the Airbus A330neo. Announced on 14 July 2014, it first ran on 27 November 2015. It made its first flight on 19 October 2017 aboard on the A330neo.
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). Launched as the RB-211-524L in June 1988, the prototype first ran in August 1990.
The Rolls-Royce Trent 700 from the 1990s, with a pressure ratio of 36:1 and 3 separate compressor rotors, needs 3 rows of variable blades and 7 bleed valves. In the beginning higher pressure ratios had to be obtained with many stages because stage pressure ratios were low, about 1.16 for the J79 compressor which needed 17 stages. [ 58 ]
The Rolls Royce Ultrafan is the largest and most efficient engine to allow multiple turbine speeds. The turbines behind the main fan are small and allow more air to pass straight through, while a planetary gearbox "allows the main fan to spin slower and the compressors to spin faster, putting each in their optimal zones."
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.
The Rolls-Royce RB.183 Tay is a medium-bypass turbofan engine, developed from the RB.183 Mk 555 Spey core and using a fan scaled directly from the Rolls-Royce RB.211-535E4 to produce versions with a bypass ratio of 3.1:1 or greater. The IP compressor and LP turbine were designed using technology from the RB.211 programme. [1]
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.
