Rolls-Royce
Rolls-Royce plc is the second largest manufacturer of turbofans and is most noted for their RB211 and Trent series, as well as their joint venture engines for the Airbus A320 and Boeing MD-90 families (IAE V2500 with Pratt & Whitney and others), the Panavia Tornado (Turbo-Union RB199) and the Boeing 717 (BR700). Rolls Royce, as owners of the Allison Engine Company, have their engines powering the C-130 Hercules and several Embraer regional jets. Rolls-Royce Trent 970s were the first engines to power the new Airbus A380. It was also Rolls-Royce Olympus/SNECMA jets that powered the now retired Concorde although they were turbojets rather than turbofans. The famous thrust vectoring Pegasus engine is the primary powerplant of the Harrier "Jump Jet" and its derivatives.

Turbofan thrust is primarily derived from bypass air.




...but turbojets are way more fun to listen to :D

more than your horsepower units can count pal, think thrust

the power so danger, that rpm's are so high, they are displayed as percentage

btw this engine looks like the one from the BCIT aerospace campus loool
