Advance3 Engine Testing
ROLLS-ROYCE IS celebrating another milestone in the development of its next generation of civil aerospace engines as it prepares to run its Advance3 demonstrator for the first time. Initially, the company is testing a new engine core that will, it says, deliver maximum fuel burn efficiency and lower emissions. The core forms a key part of the Rolls- Royce Advanced and UltraFan engine designs, both of which are fundamental to its future technology programme. The demonstrator is being readied for testing at its Derby facility. Initial running will confirm operational performance, before further testing to gather data across more than 2,800 parameters.
