Rolls-Royce Pegasus -- Facts, Info, and Encyclopedia article The Rolls Royce Pegasus is a (Jet engine in which a turbine drives air to the burner) turbofan engine manufactured by (Click link for more info and facts about Rolls-Royce plc) Rolls-Royce plc. The Pegasus vectored-thrust turbofan is a two-shaft design featuring three LP and eight HP compressor stages driven by two LP and two HP (Rotary engine in which the kinetic energy of a moving fluid is converted into mechanical energy by causing a bladed rotor to rotate) turbine stages respectively. The Pegasus 11 produced 21,000 lbf (93.4 kN) and entered service in 1974. www.absoluteastronomy.com /encyclopedia/R/Ro/Rolls-Royce_Pegasus1.htm

Rolls-Royce plc - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Rolls-Royce, an automobile company founded in 1906 by Henry Royce and C.S. Rolls, produced its first aircraft engine in 1914. For a brief history of the firm from this time to its emergence as the major UK aero-engine manufacturer after its merger with Bristol Siddeley in 1966, see Rolls-Royce. Rolls-Royce plc (also known as Rolls-Royce Aero Engines) is the second-largest aircraft engine maker in the world, behind General Electric 's GE Aircraft Engines division. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Rolls-Royce_plc

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. www.wikimirror.com /Rolls-Royce_Trent

Pegasus engine variants Pegasus 6 with higher fan RPM, 20°C increase in TET and 32% increase in water flow. Pegasus 11D with inreased RPM and 90° TET increase Pegasus 16 with either no 'boost', with PCB and/or reheat in fixed rear nozzle(s) plus 'clang-box' for core harrier.org.uk /history/pegasus.htm

VERTICAL / SHORT TAKE-OFF From this was developed the Rolls-Royce Pegasus engine, the only Vertical Take-Off and Landing (VTOL) engine in operational service in the Western World. All four nozzles on the Pegasus engine have the same cross sectional area, but the cold air flowing from the fan is at a lower velocity than the hot air from the exhaust. The Harrier and Sea Harrier fitted with a Pegasus engine, are the only fighter jets capable of Short Take-Off and Landing (STOL) and VTOL but are used in a STOVL pattern to reduce fuel consumption during take-off by using the additional aerodynamic lift of the wings. www.bath.ac.uk /~en1lagc/STOVLweb.htm

Harrier Production Rolls-Royce at Bristol supplied all the Pegasus engines, with around 25% of components for USMC Harrier IIs being supplied by Pratt and Whitney. Pegasus Variants provides details of the 70-plus versions of the Harrier's engine. 19,000 lb Bristol Siddeley BS.53 Pegasus 6, 20,500 lb Pegasus 10, 21,500 lb Pegasus 11. harrier.org.uk /history/history_production.htm

Pegasus 3 Engine BS 916 Owned by the Rolls- Royce Heritage Trust (a company-sponsored history and preservation society), the artifact is an early developmental model of the Pegasus 3 engine, the first to fly with sufficient thrust to prove the vectored-thrust concept for V/STOL jet aircraft, in 1960. All Pegasus engines are distinguished by four rotatable exhaust nozzles that can direct the exhaust downward to lift the aircraft, rearward to propel it during wing-borne flight, and to any angle in between to enable transitions between the two flight regimes. The Pegasus 3 is the earliest surviving example of the prototype engine for vertical/short takeoff and landing (V/STOL) jets, namely the Royal Air Force's Harriers and US Marine Corps' AV-8Bs. www.asme.org /history/roster/H168.html

NEWS FROM PARIS 99 Rolls-Royce wins £30m Pegasus engine support contract The UK Ministry of Defence has awarded a multi-year support contract for the repair and overhaul of Pegasus engines, modules and components to Rolls-Royce plc, the civil aerospace, defence and energy group, the company announced at the Paris Air Show. It is the latest in a series of multi- year contracts for the repair and overhaul of engines from the Rolls-Royce military engines family operated by the UK armed services, and it is work that is vital for our future business volumes." Work associated with the new order - which includes conversions from Mk103/104 to Mk106 standard of Pegasus for the Royal Navy - will be undertaken at the company's East Kilbride facility in Scotland, a specialist aero repair and overhaul unit. defence-data.com /paris99/pagep74.htm

CNN.com - Rolls-Royce returns to roots - May 4, 2004 On May 4, 1904, Charles Rolls met Henry Royce at the Midland Hotel in Manchester, northern England, and the two men formed the world-famous company. Rolls-Royce engines equip many Airbus and Boeing planes, and its Trent motors will be used on the Airbus A380 jet and Boeing's planned 7E7 Dreamliner. Charles Stewart Rolls was the son of a wealthy British peer, with a Cambridge University degree in engineering and a passion for cars and flying. www.cnn.com /2004/WORLD/europe/05/04/rolls.anniversary

Bristol Aero Collection The Rolls Royce Continental was used in many light aircraft of the 1960's, and the Collections example is from the Beagle 206, displayed next to the engine. The Pegasus was used in many military aircraft, including the Fairey Swordfish, Vickers Wellington, Short Sunderland, and Bristol Bombay. The Bristol Pegasus is a 9 Cylinder Poppet-valve radial air-cooled engine. www.bristolaero.i12.com /exengines.htm

Harrier In the late 50s there was much research going on to build vertical-take-off jet aircraft and many companies in Europe and the US started projects that resulted in prototypes which flew in the 1960s. On the Sea Harrier the refueling probe is a bolt-on non-retracting device. Working under the control of Sir Sydney Camm, who had designed the Hurricane fighter of World war Two, Hooper's team designed the P1127 prototype which in turn led to the Kestral series which was used to evaluate the new technology in a combat role. freespace.virgin.net /john.dell/Harrier/Harrier.html

News - Hucknall Today: News, Sport, Jobs, Property, Cars, Entertainments & More After their meeting at the Midland Hotel, Manchester, Royce – a humble man but a consummate engineer – agreed with Rolls, a pioneer motorist and supplier to the aristocracy, to market his motor cars under the name Rolls-Royce. But dark days were ahead and the development costs of Rolls-Royce's latest programme, the innovative RB211 engine, brought the company to its knees in 1971. Royce's final design before his death in 1933 was the Merlin aero engine, which powered the Hurricane in 1935 and the Spitfire a year later. www.hucknalltoday.co.uk /ViewArticle2.aspx?SectionID=743&ArticleID=794641

V/STOL: The First Half-Century - Part 4 Differential vectoring and thrust levels were used for control in roll and yaw; pitch was affected by a puffer jet in the tail. It was rolled out on 4 June 1968 but was destroyed in a crash during a conventional flight on 14 March 1969, without ever making a hover. In hover and forward flight, yaw was controlled by differential propeller pitch, while pitch and roll were produced by the cyclic rotor pitch. www.aiaa.org /tc/vstol/combined.html

WIMPY AND LANC Later Rolls Royce Merlins and Bristol Hercules were used. Designed by Roy Chadwick for A.V.Rowe Ltd. and called the Manchester, it was fitted with two Rolls Royce Vulture engines, a new type that proved to be troublesome. Chadwick redesigned the wing and fitted four Rolls Royce Merlins creating the mighty Lancaster. www.gordonstooke.com /460squadron/aircraft.htm

Pegasus 1/72 F.2B Pegasus also prints these on a very busy background that frankly, makes it rather difficult to read. Pegasus has been doing short run kits for a while. They consist of an exploded diagram of the kit and some painting information on one side, and generic construction hints on the other. modelingmadness.com /scotts/w1/f2bpreview.htm

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. There are a few exceptions like Olympus and Pegasus which are actually Bristol designed engines. www.hobbytalk.org /_Slightly_OT-_Rolls_Royce_Nene--25991545-303-a.html

KOSOVO: British Forces deployed in the region: Units involved The sharply anhederal wing and tailplane, and the large air intakes of the Pegasus engine make the Harrier very distinctive. The undercarriage is also unusual, in that the main wheels and nose wheel retract in tandem into the fuselage and there are two outrigger wheels that retract into housings on the wing at about two-thirds span. Although optimised for low level operations at subsonic speeds, the Harrier is also ideally suited to medium level operations where it utilises its highly accurate angle rate bombing system (ARBS) which employs a TV and laser dual mode tracker (DMT). www.kosovo.mod.uk /ukunits.htm
