The Rolls-Royce Dart is a turboprop engine that was widely used in various aircraft, including regional airliners such as the Vickers Viscount. The thermal efficiency of a turboprop engine is a measure of how effectively the engine converts the chemical energy in fuel into useful work, primarily in the form of shaft power. The thermal […]

The Rolls-Royce Gem is a turboshaft engine developed specifically for the Westland Lynx helicopter in the 1970s. The design started off at de Havilland Engine division (hence the name starting with “G”) and passed to Bristol Siddeley as the BS.360. Rolls-Royce bought out Bristol Siddeley in 1966 and after it dropped the Bristol Siddeley identity the engine became the RS.360. The Gem’s three-shaft engine configuration is rather unusual

The Rolls-Royce AE 2100 is a turboprop engine that is commonly used in military and civilian aircraft, including the Lockheed Martin C-130J Super Hercules. The thermal efficiency of a turboprop engine is a measure of how effectively the engine converts the chemical energy in fuel into useful work, primarily in the form of shaft power.

The Lockheed P-3 Orion is a maritime patrol aircraft equipped with turboprop engines, specifically the Allison T56, which is a series of turboprop engines developed by Allison Engine Company, a division of Rolls-Royce. The thermal efficiency of a turboprop engine is a measure of how effectively the engine converts the chemical energy in fuel into

The CFM LEAP (Leading Edge Aviation Propulsion) engine is a high-bypass turbofan engine developed by CFM International, a joint venture between General Electric (GE) and Safran Aircraft Engines. The thermal efficiency of a turbofan engine is a measure of how effectively the engine converts the chemical energy in fuel into useful work, primarily in the

The Rolls-Royce Avon is a turbojet engine that has been widely used in various aircraft, including military jets such as the English Electric Canberra and the de Havilland Comet. The thermal efficiency of a turbojet engine is a measure of how effectively the engine converts the chemical energy in fuel into useful work, primarily in

The RB.203 was a private venture engine built on the core of the Rolls-Royce Turbomeca Adour turbofan used in the SEPECAT Jaguar and the later Hawker Siddeley Hawk. The thermal efficiency is expressed mathematically as: where: ηth​ is the thermal efficiency, Tv​ is the thrust produced by the engine, Vjet​ is the jet velocity, ​ṁf is the mass flow rate of fuel, hc​ is the

The Rolls-Royce/MAN Turbo RB.193 is a vectored thrust turbofan engine designed and manufactured by Rolls-Royce and MAN Turbo in the mid-1960s. The thermal efficiency is expressed mathematically as: where: ηth​ is the thermal efficiency, Tv​ is the thrust produced by the engine, Vjet​ is the jet velocity, ​ṁf is the mass flow rate of fuel, hc​ is the specific enthalpy

The Rolls-Royce Olympus 593 is a turbojet engine, specifically a high-bypass turbojet used in the Concorde supersonic airliner. The thermal efficiency of a turbojet engine is a measure of how effectively the engine converts the chemical energy in fuel into useful work, primarily in the form of thrust. The thermal efficiency is defined as the
