	The History of ROLLS ROYCE at HUCKNALL
		Rolls Royce went away from this idea and pursued their own ideas of small jet engines for vertical lift which was later demonstrated by Short SCI aircraft and so finished a small part of Rolls Royce history in the new jet age.
		By this time Rolls Royce were beginning to put into practice some of the new theories of radiator and subsequent pipe work had to be built into the installations and streamlined to create as little drag as possible.
		The results of these tests had shown that Rolls Royce had been justified in taking this step to do their own flight development but they were still having to rely on other people to carry it out.

	Rolls-Royce Derwent - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Derwent was the second jet engine design to be put into production by Rolls-Royce.
		Rolls had a fully developed supercharger division, which Hooker directed, which was naturally suited to jet engine work.
		The Derwent was the primary engine of all the early Meteors with the exception of the small number of Welland-equipped models which were quickly removed from service.

	Gloster Meteor
		The eighth, with Rolls-Royce W.2B/37 Derwent Is, was flown on 18 April 1944.
		Derwent 8 turbojets of 1633 kg (3,600 lbs) thrust were installed, to confer a top speed of almost 966 km/h (600 mph).
		The Trent was basically a Derwent engine provided with reduction gearing and a drive shaft that turned a five-bladed Rotol propeller of 2.41 m (7 ft 11 in) diameter, necessitating the introduction of longer-stroke landing gear to provide tip clearance.

		Derwent Brass hail from Derbyshire and were formed in 1992 by a small group of brass players who shared the determination to try and bring first class banding to the area.
		Members of the Derby based Derwent Brass under the baton of MD Keith Leonard, and the Grand Central Chorus, received a standing ovation at the end of a concert in Queens Hall Derby.
		The first of the audience started to arrive a good hour before the concert was due to commence and were greeted with a church resplendent in red white and blue decor and flags in abundance.

	Rolls Royce
		Rolls Royce had realised that jet propulsion was the way forward and it also knew that Rover, who had the contract to mass produce the Power Jets W2B engine, had an acrimonious relationship with Frank Whittle.
		Rolls Royce took over production of the W2B/23 which was renamed as the Welland and which flew in the Gloster Meteor.
		Rolls Royce was founded in 1906 as a car producer but soon got into aeroengine production in 1915.

	Rolls-Royce Trent [Definition]
		Rolls Royce Trent is a family of high-bypass turbofan A turbojet (jet) engine is a type of air-breathing internal combustion engine often used on aircraft.
		Rolls Royce claims that it performs better than any current 747 engine.
		[click for more], developments of the famous RB211 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 Gloster Meteor
		The NF.11 retained the Derwent 8 engines of the F.8, but the four cannon were transferred from the nose to the wings, the wings were lengthened back to the original Meteor I span, and the longer nose accommodated AI.10 (US SCR-720) radar and a pressurized tandem cockpit.
		The Derwent 5 was first bench-tested in June 1945, with the test engine providing 11.8 kN (1,200 kgp / 2,650 lbf) thrust.
		If it were not for the heaviness of its ailerons and the consequent poor maneuverability in the rolling plane, and the adverse effect of snaking on it as a gun platform, it would be a comparable all-round fighter with greatly increased performance.

	Gloster Meteor Record Breakers
		It was this in conjunction with the new and much more powerful Rolls Royce Derwent V that led to thoughts of capturing the world air speed record set by Germany in 1939 in addition to forming the basis of the F. MK IV Meteor.
		In both the F. Mk 1 and III Meteors the Derwent engines were housed in short stubby nacelles, it was discovered though that extending them both in front and behind the wing improved the airflow and greatly reduced drag which increased sea level speed by almost 60 mph.
		In addition to the airframe modifications the Derwent V had been cleared to an emergency rating of 4,300 lbs at 15,200 rpm against the normal maximum of 14,700 rpm boosting thrust by 800 lbs to 4,300 lbs.

	Rolls Royce History - Autobrands
		Agreement was reached at the meeting that Royce Limited would manufacture a range of cars to be sold exclusively by C S Rolls and Co: they were to bear the name Rolls-Royce.
		Royce built his first motor car in 1904 and in May of that year met Charles Rolls, whose company sold quality cars in London.
		Then, in response to the nation's needs, Henry Royce designed his first aero engine - the Eagle.

		1961 Bristol Siddeley was purchased by Rolls Royce.
		Rolls was impressed with this car, encouraged Royce to build bigger and bigger cars, and became the sole distributor for Royce cars, leading eventually to the aforementioned setting-up of Rolls-Royce in 1906.
		Originally he was forced to sell non-British cars, but in 1904 he was informed of a British company, Royce of Manchester, which was producing decent (small) cars.

	Gloster Meteor Development History
		Stanley Hooker, in charge of the Rolls-Royce design team that was developing the Derwent visited the United States in the spring of 1944.
		Power Jets was not in a position to mass produce the engine and early mis-management by the British Ministry of Production led to long delays until Rolls Royce took over the development of the W.2B from Rover in an exchange involving a Nottingham tank factory.
		Discovering that General Electric was developing turbojet engines with thrust ratings of 1,800 kilograms (4,000 pounds) or higher Hooker returned to Britain and initiated a fast track project to build a new and much more powerful centrifugal-flow engine.

	People Rolls-Royce Centenary - A Century Of Innovation
		Early in 1945 the Derwent V followed as a scale-down of the Nene and then the AJ65, which became the Avon.
		In parallel, continuing his straight-through approach, he designed the RB37 Derwent I. In 1944 his team created their first âclean sheetâ centrifugal turbojet the RB44 Nene and, in conjunction with Lionel Haworthâs team in Derby, the RB39 Clyde turboprop.
		With the war over, E W Hives was able to draw gas turbine work in to Derby in 1947, where Lombard was appointed Chief Designer of Projects.

	cars - Turboprop
		The first turboprop engine was the Rolls-Royce RB.50 Trent, a converted Derwent II fitted with reduction gear and a Rotol 7' 11" five-bladed propeller.
		Propellers lose efficiency as aircraft speed increases, which is why turboprops are not used on higher-speed aircraft.
		Two Trents were fitted to Gloster Meteor EE227 - the " Trent-Meteor " - which became the first turboprop powered aircraft.

	Slightly OT- Rolls Royce Nene- - Scale Models
		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.

	Encyclopedia: Avro Jetliner
		Nevertheless Avro continued with its plan to build the jet, selecting the Rolls-Royce Derwent to replace the Avon.
		The only surviving parts are the nose and cockpit section in the Canadian Aviation Museum in Ottawa.
		Two years later the first prototype, CF-EJD (-X), started making taxiing tests, and first flew August 10, 1949, only 25 months after the design had started and only 13 days after the first flight of the Comet.

	Silver-wings.co.uk: Gloster Meteor NF11
		During 1944 the Meteor's prime responsibility was to combat the V1 flying bomb, before moving to the continent in the ground attack role.
		Because the Meteor, (as the new jet fighter was soon to be called) was a leap into the unknown the airframe was of conservative and simple design, the only novel feature being the use of a nosewheel undercarriage.
		It is still on the military register and is the oldest military jet still flying.

	Aero Engine Information
		The Derwent 1 was designed to the same diameter as the Welland as it had to fit the same Meteor nacelle.
		When the Derwent V was developed, it incorporated so many changes in design that it was virtually a new engine.
		In April 1944 it went through flight tests in a Meteor rated at 1800lbs thrust and with a weight of 920lbs.
