	Famous Vulcans - XA903 RB199 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		Unlike the Olympus programme, the RB199 programme was bedevilled with test engine failures and shortage, the flying rate being seriously curtailed as a result.
		The age of the Vulcan began to be a problem during the RB199 flying, and spares were not always readily available, as the last of the RAF's B1s had been withdrawn from service in 1968.
		During the RB199 development, a 27mm Mauser cannon was fitted to the forebody, and several gun firing trials were carried out on the butts at Boscombe Down, and under the control of Aberporth Radar over the Irish Sea.

	Turbo-Union RB199 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		RB199s of Tornado F3 The Turbo Union RB199 is an aircraft jet engine designed and built jointly by Rolls-Royce, MTU and FiatAvio (now Avio).
		The RB199 has amassed over 5 million flight hours since entering service with the RAF, Luftwaffe, German Navy, Royal Saudi Air Force and Italian Air Force.
		The RB199 was flight tested on the Avro Vulcan, the same aircraft that was used for the flight testing of Concorde’s Olympus 593.

	RB199 combat aircraft jet engines - Rolls-Royce
		The RB199 is a three shaft reheated turbofan engine, with three low pressure (LP), three intermediate pressure (IP) and six high pressure (HP) compressor stages, powered by two single-stage turbines (HP and IP) and a two stage LP turbine.
		The RB199 was designed to power all variants of the Tornado multi-role combat aircraft and was used in a development role for today's Eurofighter Typhoon.
		RB199 is in service in IDS (strike), ADV (fighter) and ECR (electronic combat and reconnaissance) Tornado versions.

		The scrappy that cut it up must have made a fortune as the bomb bay was full stainless steel tanks and pipes and the entire rear undersurface of the aircraft was covered with a heat shield made from either stainless or titanium.
		He said that it was the only Vulcan to have had a gun fired from it, as a Tornado cannon had been fitted to the RB199 test pod and fired to see if affected the test engine.
		I also remember that the RB199 pod was removed at the same time and I saw it leaving the RAE on the back of a British Aerospace lorry.

	Tornado RB199 Module Prime (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		The RB199 Future Support Project (FSP) was begun in July 2001 as a joint review by the Tornado IPT and other organisations involved in the support and operation of the engine; Rolls-Royce, Defence Aviation Repair Agency (DARA), Wood Group Component Repair, Headquarters RAF Strike Command (HQ STC) and NATO Eurofighter and Tornado Management Agency (NETMA).
		The overall aim of the RB199 FSP was to halve the cost of supporting the RB199 in the 5 years from FY 02/03 to FY 07/08, while providing adequate engine availability, maintaining current safety levels, decreasing its adverse operational effect, increasing reliability and reducing its maintenance burden.
		The work that was done to support the pilot project, including the cost models, has been handed over to the IPT which has created the post of Project Coordinator to manage further work in the long term, to test the impact of future activity in financial terms and to realise the benefits into the STP.

	Operation 20 days (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		Operating out of Piacenza, Italy, each Tornado was powered by two RB199 Mk105 engines; MTU was a significant contributor to their development and production.
		Not a problem for the highly motivated team, because this concerted effort not only enabled MTU to prove its flexibility and immense capacity to perform, but also clearly demonstrated its ability to meet the requirements set forth for future cooperation with the Luftwaffe on the maintenance of the Eurofighter's EJ200 engine.
		Yet rather than rest on its laurels, MTU took the opportunity to learn from the experiences of this hectic time: a number of well-established procedures for RB199 maintenance were closely and critically examined in order to make improvements in cycle time and quality.

		Yet, as shown in Figure 1, it is possible to eliminate materials that are less than the mean gray level of the lightest materials requiring analysis.
		For the RB199 engine this enables the routine elimination of nickel-rich abrasive contaminants which originate from air and oil labyrinth seal debris.
		Ten RB199 transmission materials are classified according to their failure characteristics and multiple combinations of materials can be addressed.

		The Tornado F2 was the first attempt to utilise the highly versatile tornado airframe as a high speed interceptor.
		The -103 was optimised for low level operations and therefore not in its element at the higher altitudes the F2 was to spend most of its time.
		However, development work continued on the RB199 engine and the most significant in terms of thrust was the lengthening of the jet pipe.

		A complex module, the RB199 Module 3 was specifically chosen for Process Acceleration as the Repair and Overhaul process utilised the full spectrum of facilities offered by the Engines and components Business Unit (ECBU) at St Athan.
		Expertise was not necessarily specific to the RB199 and did not involve management grades; the team was clear to rethink the entire process with the freedom to develop strategies.
		In 55 elapsed hours, the RB199 Module 3 went through the Repair and Overhaul procedure and was returned to the customer, the Tornado IPT, in a matter of days rather than weeks.

		Furthermore, by adopting Version 8 of Enigma's technology, Rolls-Royce is allowing UK Ministry of Defense (MOD) locations to access all critical service information from a single application, regardless of authoring tool or data format.
		Enigma's technology provides the RB199 technicians with on-line as well as off-line (CD-ROM) access to the relevant content for each specific service or repair procedure via an integrated browser-based application and a common user interface.
		Enigma pulls content from multiple sources, including maintenance manuals, illustrated parts catalogs and the modifications manual, and delivers the specific, integrated information required for an individual engine, saving hours of time spent searching and cross referencing existing documentation.

		The large tail is necessary for longitudinal stability, once the wings are swept back they play little part in controlling the aircraft, the large all moving tailerons and spoilers take over.
		The GR.1s engines are also optimised for low level flight, the RB199 turbofan was designed from outset to provide high power at low level and still be reasonably economical.
		I understand that most of the GR.1 fleet now has the RB199-34 103 engine, whilst some of the older airframes are still fitted with the RB199-34 101.

		The requirements were for a powerplant capable of higher thrust, longer life and less complexity than previous engines.
		The result was a powerplant with similar dimensions to the Tornado's RB199 yet having almost half as many parts (1800 against 2845 for the RB199) and delivering nearly 50% more thrust.
		A very noticeable difference between the two engines can be seen by comparing the turbine blade designs.
