Rolls-Royce pushes ahead with Advance technologies
Rolls-Royce is pressing ahead with testing of multiple components that will appear on its Advance turbofan, scheduled to be ready for service from the end of this decade. The engine manufacturer said the Advance will offer at least 20% better fuel burn and CO₂ emissions than the Trent 700 engine. It includes a new core architecture that redistributes workload between the intermediate-pressure (IP) and high-pressure (HP) shafts, which the company said gives higher efficiency with fewer components and lower weight. The IP spool will be shorter, with fewer stages and more work being done by the HP section. It will have a new, lightweight low-pressure (LP) system that will feature the company’s new carbon titanium fan system. This will give a weight saving of around 750 lb on the engine. <br/>
