Rolls-Royce is developing engine technologies in phases for its next generation of big engines. The start of the process is Advance, where the new core is developed. The Advance3 demonstrator engine is part of this process.
The color sections show where the Advance3 is new. Rolls wants a new engine core that will deliver maximum fuel burn efficiency and low emissions. The goal is an engine design that is expected to offer at least 20% better fuel burn and CO2 emissions than the first generation of engine.
This core technology forms a key part of the Rolls-Royce UltraFan engine design that is designed to offer a 25% improvement and will be available for service from 2025. The process of moving towards their new engines has stages as illustrated by the following chart.
Co-Founder AirInsight. My previous life includes stints at Shell South Africa, CIC Research, and PA Consulting. Got bitten by the aviation bug and ended up an Avgeek. Then the data bug got me, making me a curious Avgeek seeking data-driven logic. Also, I appreciate conversations with smart people from whom I learn so much. Summary: I am very fortunate to work with and converse with great people.
