Development Testing of the RB.211 Turbofan Engine: An account of the test programme for the development of the RB.211 advanced technology turbofan for the Lockheed L‐1011 airliner

Abstract

THE Rolls‐Royce RB.211 advanced technology turbofan for the Lockheed L‐1011 TriStar has been designed from the outset for case of maintenance by the embodiment of modular construction and development testing at Hucknall and Derby is confirming the inherent advantages of its three‐shaft layout for large high bypass ratio propulsion systems.
