How much does a Rolls-Royce RB211 cost?
Work on the RB211 as essentially a scaled-down RB207 began in 1966-7 with the first certificated engines being scheduled to be available by December 1970 at 33,260lb take-off thrust and at a price of $511,000 each. In February 1968, American Airlines had chosen the Rolls-Royce RB.
What aircraft use RB211?
Boeing 757
The RB211-535E4-powered Boeing 757 is the quietest airliner in its class, allowing it to power aircraft in and out of airports with strict local noise limits.
What does RB stand for in RB211?
A Rolls-Royce powered aeroplane takes off and lands every 25 seconds. Rolls-Royce engines are often named with letters and numbers e.g. the RB211 is the heart of the Rolls-Royce family of large turbofan engines. The B derivative stands for Barnoldswick later modified to RB (Rolls Barnoldswick).

How big is the fuel tank on a 747?
The new 747-8 Intercontinental is the passenger version of Boeing’s biggest jumbo jet, and a problem discovered in testing means customers can’t use the fuel tanks in the horizontal stabilizers — at least not yet. […] The horizontal tail surfaces of the 747-8 have the capacity to carry 3,300 gallons of fuel.
Is the Rolls Royce RB 211-22b engine salvageable?
The engine has spent some time outside under a cover and although complete has suffered some superficial corrosion. When I first saw it I was not convinced that running it was a remote possibility but after several inspections, it looked more and more likely that this engine was salvageable and with a bit of work could run again.
When did Rolls Royce develop the industrial RB211?
When Rolls-Royce was developing the -22, it realised that it would be straightforward to develop a version of the engine for land-based power generation, and in 1974 the industrial RB211 was launched. When the -524 arrived shortly afterwards, its improvements were incorporated in the industrial RB211 which was designated RB211-24.
What was the cost of the Rolls Royce RB 178?
Overall development costs of the RB.178 was £2.6 million. As a comparison, the GE and P&W companies were awarded nearly $20 million by the US DoD ( Department of Defense) to develop and build the TF39 and STF200 technology demonstrators.
