One of the biggest in aviation Rolls Royce, The world’s largest aircraft engine technology UltraFan is ready for the first tests.
Rolls-Royce (Not the luxury car side) has a great experience in aviation and is involved in serious plans for the future. One of these big plans is the world’s largest aircraft engine or the world’s largest jet engine, which has been on the agenda for a long time. UltraFan. UltraFan, which has been producing test-oriented prototypes for a long time,, made new to explain on the prototype that was successfully produced according to can now be tested in detail. Produced at a facility in the UK, the prototype engine with a fan diameter of 140 inches (355.6 cm) is fuel-efficient compared to the first-generation Trent engine, according to the company’s own statement. provides an increase of 25 percent.
UltraFan In particular, the detailed explanations from the company were as follows: “UltraFan also supports different sustainability solutions. It is aimed to transfer technology from the UltraFan development program to existing Trent engines in order to achieve higher fuel efficiency and reduce emissions in the short term. In the longer term, UltraFan’s scalable technology with 25,000-100,000 lb of thrust has the potential to power new narrow and wide body aircraft expected to enter service in the 2030s.
UltraFan brings with it a platform for the use of a wide variety of energy options and power systems, including current jet fuel and sustainable aviation fuels, as well as the potential for future hybrid-electric and hydrogen.

Kwasi Kwarteng, UK Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategies, said: “Rols-Royce has long been a symbol of British perfectionism in engineering. The development of the cutting-edge UltraFan engine will play a key role in bringing cleaner and more fuel-efficient flights to life globally. Rolls-RThe fact that oyce plays a key role in this field shows that it maintains its current prestigious position without slowing down.
UltraFan, supported by the UK government through the Aerospace Technologies Institute Programme, also represents a crucial growth and employment opportunity for the UK. I look forward to seeing airplanes powered by the technologies developed in this ultra-efficient engine program around the world in the coming years.”
RollsChris Cholerton, Head of Civil Aviation at Royce, expressed his views as follows: “Our UltraFan motor technology emerges at a time when the world is seeking transformative technologies for sustainability. We have reached the final stage of production in production. This year, we will perform the first start-up test with 100 percent sustainable aviation fuel.
The technology suite we’ve tested on the engine will also bring opportunities to make improvements to our existing fleet and provide new capabilities for future propulsion systems. This program is an important investment in the future. We are delighted that the UK Aerospace Technology Institute and Innovate UK, Germany’s LuFo and EU’s Clean Sky programs are supporting the UltraFan® program on this path.”
According to Rolls-Royce, the engine’s key engineering features include:
- -To ensure maximum fuel efficiency and low emissions Rolls-New Advance3 engine interior (core engine) combined with Royce’s ALECSys combustion system
- -Carbon titanium fan blades and composite body
- – Advanced ceramic matrix composite (CMC) components that operate more effectively at high pressures and temperatures
- UltraFan, a gearbox design that provides efficient power for the high-thrust, high-bypass ratio engines of the future and breaks a record in aviation by operating at 64MW, Rolls– Data from more than 10,000 parameters being tested at Royce’s new £90m Testbed 80 facility; Even the smallest vibrations are detected at a speed of up to 200,000 samples per second.
