A total of 1584 D-30KU engines were manufactured by Rybinsk Engine Plant (now PAO NPO UEC-Saturn) under the authorized supervision of the Perm Design Bureau. [2] D-30KP. Similar to the D-30KU, a new engine variant called D-30KP which delivered 12,000 kgf of thrust was developed for military transport aircraft Il-76. The development was ...
In addition the GE90's increased thrust was not yet required by airlines and it was also the heaviest engine of the three available choices, making it the least popular option on these first generation 777s (777-200 and 777-200ER, also known collective as the 777 Classics) while the Rolls-Royce engine was the most popular. [14] [17] A GE90-115B ...
The engine is the largest reciprocating engine in the world. The 14-cylinder version first entered commercial service in September 2006 aboard the Emma Mærsk . The design is similar to the older RTA96C engine, but with common rail technology (in place of traditional camshaft , chain gear , fuel pump and hydraulic actuator systems).
The Rolls-Royce Trent XWB is a high-bypass turbofan produced by Rolls-Royce Holdings.In July 2006, the Trent XWB was selected to exclusively power the Airbus A350. [2] The first engine was run on 14 June 2010, [3] it first flew on an A380 testbed on 18 February 2012, [4] was certified in early 2013, [5] and first flew on an A350 on 14 June 2013. [6]
The XWB-84 generates up to 84,200 lbf (375 kN) of thrust and the XWB-97 up to 97,000 lbf (431 kN). The engine has a 9.6:1 bypass ratio and a 50:1 pressure ratio. [58] It had its first in-flight shutdown on 11 September 2018, as the fleet accumulated 2.2 million flight hours. [59] It is the most powerful among all Trent engines.
The TP400 was originally selected by Airbus Military to power the A400M in December 2000. [2] However, Airbus reopened the engine competition in February 2002, because the engine core, which is based on the Snecma M88 turbofan fighter engine, was too heavy and used too much fuel. [3]
The first family has a 94-inch (2.4 m) fan diameter and is designed to power the Boeing 767, Boeing 747, MD-11, and the Airbus A300. The second family is the 100 inch (2.5 m) fan engine developed specifically for the Airbus A330 twinjet, and the third family has a diameter of 112-inch (2.8 m) designed to power Boeing 777.
The GE Passport is a high bypass ratio turbofan. The engine is a twin-spool, axial-flow turbofan with a high bypass ratio of 5.6:1 and an overall pressure ratio of 45:1. The front fan is attached to the three-stage low-pressure compressor; the 23:1 pressure ratio 10-stage high-pressure compressor includes five blisk stages for weight reduction.
