The Rolls-Royce Heritage Trust

Latest arrival in the Rolls-Royce Heritage and Future exhibition in the Aerospace campus in Derby. The Power Gearbox plays a central role in the UltraFan demonstrator engine. It is a key technology in making the engine 25% more fuel efficient than the first generation of Rolls-Royce Trent engines. The PGB has a planetary design, with each 'planet' capable of holding the force of a Trent XWB engine at full throttle. The gearbox has reached a world-record 87,000 horsepower or 64 megawatts on test, enough to power a city the size of Bath.

So pleased to be invited with Sandra Freeman from the Rolls-Royce Corporate Heritage Office to the end of year celebration of Hucknall Flight Test Museum Team with an excellent guest speaker from the Sherwood Observatory.

In the Rolls-Royce Heritage and Future Exhibition in the Aerospace campus in Derby is this Rolls-Royce RB211-22B. This was the first production three-spool high-bypass engine. Originally developed for the Lockheed L-1011 TriStar, it entered service in 1972 and was the exclusive engine to power the L-1011. Subsequent developments went onto to power aircraft such as the Boeing 747, 757 and 767 and was superseded in the 1990’s by the Rolls-Royce Trent family of engines on such aircraft as displayed the Boeing 777 and Airbus A340.

This clock was originally installed in Sir Henry Royce’s office at the Cook Street Works, Manchester. It was brought to Derby in 1908 and was until 1958 the “Master Clock” at the Nightingale Road works, Derby. It was presented by the Management to the Apprentice Training School on Jan 1st 1959. The clock is now on display in the Rolls-Royce Heritage and Future Exhibition in Derby.
