Boeing 747-400 and 767-300ER Rolls Royce RB211-524


File Description:An extra special engine, the last generation RB211-524 is significant for being one of the least utilized modern engines on the market. The Rolls Royce was the last manufacturer to enter its engine into the 747-400 market. Enter the RB211, famous for its triple-spool design that enables a broader thrust range and increased fuel economy. The first Rolls Royce powered 747-400 was VH-OJA for Qantas. Powered by Rb211-524G engines, this plane made a record delivery flight nonstop from London to Sydney. Years later, the more powerful R211-524H version was released. These beasts boasted up to 56,000lbs of thrust and power BA and Cathay Pacific's 747 fleets. Rolls' final 747-400 engine was the R211-524H-T. This engine is a hybrid, its an RB211-524H with a Trent 700 core. Cargolux, South African and Cathay Pacific Cargo are a few operators of this unique engine. In addition to its role on the 747-400, a handfull of 767-300ERs are also powered by the RB211-524H. British Airways demanded of Boeing that the 767-300ER be tested and certified to carry the RB211 so they could have engine commonality with their 747-400s. Through trade negotiations, Qantas ended up with seven of British Airways' RR powered 767s. The only other carrier to buy Rolls Royce powered 767s from Boeing was China Yunnan Airlines, which is now part of China Eastern Airlines. All files are recorded and mastered in 22.050kb/s Stereo from 747-400s but can also be used for the 767. Recommended for use with the Overland, PMDG, and or Project Opensky 747s as well as the Overland, Level-D, and or Project Opensky 767-300ERs. Please Enjoy
