The loss of these blades is unfortunate since different manufacturers often adopt unique shapes for their fan, compressor, and turbine blades that would make the source of the component much easier to identify.
This item is part of the central shaft that runs the length of the engine to connect the rotating stages of the fan, compressor, and turbine.
The RB211 is described as a triple-shaft or triple-spool turbofan since it uses three concentric shafts to drive the various rotating elements of the engine.

 At Work treasure - RB211
The pioneering RB211 turbofan engine drove the world renowned Rolls-Royce company to the very edge of bankruptcy - but it was to become one of the best and most commercially successful aircraft power plants ever built.
Outstandingly successful, the RB211 sired a line of ever larger and more powerful engines, notably the Trent 700, 800 and 900 series which deliver up to 70,000 pounds of thrust and have proved so economical and reliable that they power around half of the long-haul airlines currently in service.
Currently to be found in the RB211 Gallery at The Silk Mill - Derby's Museum of Industry and History.

 Rolls-Royce plc RB211 Trent 800 Series Turbofan
SUMMARY: This amendment supersedes an existing airworthiness directive (AD), applicable to certain Rolls-Royce plc RB211 Trent 800 series turbofan engines, that currently requires initial and repetitive ultrasonic inspections of fan blade roots for cracks, and replacement, if necessary, with serviceable parts.
This amendment requires the reduction of the initial cyclic compliance threshold and repetitive inspection intervals.
Applicability: Rolls-Royce plc (RR) RB211 Trent 875, RB211 Trent 877, RB211 Trent 884, RB211 Trent 892, and RB211 Trent 892B series turbofan engines, except if the fan blades described in RR Service Bulletin (SB) RB.211-72-C629 were installed as complete sets.

The Rolls Royce RB.211 family is a family of high-bypass turbofan aircraft engines made by Rolls-Royce capable of generating 37,400 to 60,600 pound (166 to 270 kN) thrust.
The weight savings were considerable over a similar fan made of steel, and would have resulted in the RB.211 outperforming anything in the air in terms of power-to-weight ratio.

 Rolls-Royce RB211 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Rolls Royce RB.211 family is a family of high-bypass turbofan aircraft engines made by Rolls-Royce capable of generating 37,400 to 60,600 pounds-force (166 to 270 kilonewtons) thrust.
Such a name was not assigned to the RB.211, however when a new series evolved out of the RB.211 line it would be known as the Rolls-Royce Trent.
A short-term solution, replacing the fan blading with titanium, also turned out to be problematic, with the discovery that only one side of the titanium billet was of the right metallurgical quality for blade fabrication.

By 1987, a variant of the RB211, the RB211-524L, had been developed to such an extent that it bore little resemblance to the original RB211, other than the three-shaft layout.
By the early 1990's, Rolls-Royce RB211 had 15 to 20 percent market share of the big commercial turbofans; however, GE and Pratt and Whitney were still way out in front.
The option to Rolls-Royce was either to update the RB211 or risk exiting the big turbofan business; the result was, of course, that the RB211 was redeveloped into the Trent.

However when a new series evolved out of the RB.211 line it would be known as the Rolls-Royce Trent.
In 1971, after massive development costs associated with the RB.211, Rolls-Royce went bankrupt, seriously jeapordizing the L-1011 Tristar program (and ultimately delaying its introduction by several years).
The company was "saved" by a loan from the US government arranged by Lockheed, a highly contentious issue in both countries, and Rolls-Royce was nationalised by the then-Conservative government.

Geoffrey Wilde (b 1917) was the originator of the RB211 which assisted the development of all Rolls-Royce's large engines.
It was conceived due to the problems associated with noise and rising fuel costs.
The RB211 was the forerunner of an entire generation of high by-pass engines on wide-bodied long distance airliners.

At that time no aircraft was available that could accommodate the large girth of the RB211 beneath the wing and still have some ground clearance left, the mounting on the side of the fuselage of the VC10 did provide this clearance.
To be able to attach the RB211 the engine beam was strengthened to accommodate the higher weight and aerodynamic effects of the larger frontal area.
The thrust reverser on the RB211 was not used at this point but for some reason the reverser sleeve was not positively locked in the forward position.

Significant for several reasons, not all good, the RB211 was developed during the 1960s to power the new generation of jumbo jets, starting with the Lockheed L1011.
In an interesting twist of fate, old-time engineers, many of whom went back to World War II and Merlin development and, in some cases, back to R development for the Schneider Trophy races, were brought on board to bail out the young hotshot engineers who were clearly in serious trouble.
Over the years the RB211 has matured into a world-class high bypass turbo fan engine.

 A new turbine for natural gas pipelines
The Trent aircraft engine has approximately 50 percent more thrust than the highest-rated RB211 aircraft engine, although it maintains the older engine's configuration and much of its engine geometry, with the result that many of the Trent's more efficient components can be used in upgraded variants of the RB211.
The IP compressor modification was intended to reduce the speed at a given level of flow, in order to increase efficiency and ensure the potential of the compressor to be further uprated.
The gas generator turbines of the old RB211 featured interlock shrouds, but to allow an increase in firing temperature without reduction in turbine life, the latest Trent interlocked rotor blade is incorporated in the new machine.
