	Rolls-Royce Spey - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In 1954 Rolls introduced the first commercial bypass engine, the Rolls-Royce Conway, with a 21,000 lbf (94 kN) thrust aimed at what was then the "large end" of the market.
		The Spey is still produced today by Rolls-Royce as the Marine Spey, which powers seven ship classes including the Royal Navy's Type 23 frigates and provides a power output of 19.5 MW.
		The Spey is a low-bypass turbofan engine from Rolls-Royce that has been in widespread service for over 30 years.

		Rolls named their piston engines after birds of prey; Merlin, Eagle, Kestrel, etc. Their turbine engines are named after rivers; Trent, Adour, Conway, etc.
		Bristol used mythological names for their engine; Centarus, Perseus, etc. Rolls picked up those engines in the consolidation of the British aero industry in the 60's and 70's.
		Something hit me out of the blue just now- I always had heard that RR jets were named after rivers mainly.

	The Ultimate Rolls-Royce Conway - American History Information Guide and Reference
		An Avro Vulcan was used to continue the development of the engine and also another new Rolls Royce engine, the Spey.
		The engines were located in the wing root of the Victor and in twin pods on either side of the rear fuselage of the VC-10.
		The Victor was also tested at Hucknall, together with the aircraft intake on one of the test beds.

		An Avro Vulcan was used to continue the development of the engine and also another new Rolls Royce engine, the Spey.
		The engine also found few civilian applications, as most airlines (especially US airlines) preferred to use US-built engines, and the Americans later developed a counter to the Conway, the Pratt and Whitney JT3D, which was less noisy and had a lower fuel consumption.
		Ironically it was a VC-10 that was used as the flying testbed for the RB211, RAF 10 Squadron VC10, XR809.

	BBC - Derby - Around Derby - Rolls-Royce Centenary
		The Rolls-Royce Avon-powered Comet became the first turbojet to enter transatlantic service and in 1960 the company's Conway engine in the Boeing 707 became the first turbofan to enter airline service.
		Rolls-Royce was also the pioneer of aero-derivative engines for use in industrial and marine applications.
		Among many strengths Bristol Siddeley brought to the partnership were the unique Pegasus vectored thrust turbofan, which powers the Harrier jump jet, and the Olympus 593 that powered Concorde - the world's only supersonic airliner that was in service from 1976 to 2003.

	Turbofan - Enpsychlopedia
		The Rolls-Royce Conway, the first turbofan, had a bypass ratio of 0.3, similar to the modern General Electric F404 fighter engine.
		The turbofan engine market is been dominated by General Electric, Rolls-Royce plc and Pratt & Whitney, in order of market share.
		GE Aircraft Engines, part of the General Electric Conglomerate, currently has the largest share of the turbofan engine market.

	Avro Vulcan
		The Vulcan was used as test-beds for the Concorde engine, the Rolls-Royce/Snecma Olympus and the Rolls-Royce Conway turbofan.
		Vulcans were converted to a conventional bombing role in 1966, carrying 21 1000-lbs (454 kg) bombs.
		The Avro Vulcan was a British built jet engined, delta-winged subsonic bomber, once part of the RAF's V bomber force.

	Rolls-Royce Conway - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		For future civilian aircraft a completely new design of fuel efficient and low noise capability was required and so Rolls-Royce designed its first "big (high bypass) fan" engine, the Rolls-Royce RB211.
		Ironically it was a VC-10 that was used as the flying testbed for the RB211, RAF 10 Squadron VC10, XR809.

	Turbofan
		The Rolls-Royce Conway, the first turbofan, had a bypass ratio of 0.3, similar to the modern General Electric F404 fighter engine.
		In the late 1960s, high-bypass turbofans, which generally have bypass ratios of about 5, began to appear.
		These engines not only have much lower fuel consumption than low-bypass engines, but also could provide much higher thrust, which made wide-body aircraft much more practical.

	Remodeling : Maloof's Fun House : Home & Garden Television
		When Maloof purchased the property in 1996, there was only one house--and from the outside, it's not all that extraordinary except for a pair of 8-foot tall bronze replicas of the Rolls Royce hood ornament...
		Because Maloof was out town when we taped this episode, we spoke with Bob Maes and artist/decorator Rebecca Conway -- two of the people Phil employs full-time just to execute his vision for his house.
		Moving inside, we see that Maloof is a serious collector, with entire rooms devoted to his collections.
