I have not seen such a wonderful team of workers who take so much pride in their work in many other organizations. That's the ideal characteristics of a technology firm in the 21st century. You are the leaders!

I told Boeing I watched this video and now I am a full time engineer. Thanks!

Having watched the video, I can only express my utmost respect for all the people involved in creating these masterpieces of modern technology!

Cool, for companies to organize choirs, bands, and other activities is terrific. Sorry about the issues with the Trent 1000 on Dreamliners

from the people who discover an design. down to the ppl who build it. it blows my mind about how smart ppl are

27:54 I like Steve's enthusiasm for perfection, and his joyfulness. This, more than anything, shows how human emotion, not the absence of it, is at the core of anything that is made with such amazing precision and strength. In fact, what's more fascinating to me than the engine is the genuine integrity of all of the people in this documentary, and how much pleasure this kind of work brings them. I doubt there's a better way to live. Maybe different, but not better.

Wow. I just love those dynamic breaks or thrust reversers bucketing out of the jet engine at 1:40.

Thanks to series producer Steve Crabtree and Director Paul King for this outstanding program on Rolls Royce-- so intriguing, I cannot wait to watch it at least once more-- even as long as it is. There is no wasted narrative or extra footage in covering the mammoth complexity of the Rolls Royce operation and its suppliers. Particularly fascinating was not only the precise engineering of energy in each engine, but even the post-sale digital field monitoring of some 8,000-10,000 completed engines in regular service. What a tragedy it would have been for the company's finest moment, the birth of the Trent series engines, to have been eclipsed by a bankruptcy. All, going to show major advances in technology are never neatly predictable and spreadsheet-perfect affairs. * As a historical observation, the stunning and remarkable coincidence for BMW, manufacturer of WW2 fighter aircraft engines for the FW190, to begin production of the Rolls Royce luxury sedan, once the signature product of the same company which made Merlin engines for the Spitfire (Lancaster, etc).

I'm glad they didn't shutter the doors, who knows what the world would be without Rolls Royce engines and thee competition it forces to other engine manufacturing. Long live the royal engine of the skies... the true king of the air that carry the Queen herself and the Queen of the skies

That must be one of the best jobs on the planet. I'd completely love it.

Everyone of these people are definitely masters of there craft. Beyond impressed by Rolls Royce. Makes me feel even safer when going up six miles high.

British engineering at it's best. Master piece engines. Can you reload it in HD please!!!

I must say, the new compressor technology IS impressive.

Btw, ever since I watched this, I've been making 20 Rolls-Royce Trent 900 engines a week.

this has got to be the most useful How-To vid on youtube....

Thank you so much.I always wanted to build a jet engine.Now I know how.

When technology achieves its highest levels, somehow it becomes poetry. This is simply amazing.

This is absolutly Amazing.Love it.

Finally!! a how to guide... now I can build one at home :)

I think you're thinking of United Airlines Flight 232, that was a DC-10, and it probably had GE engines. There was one incident where an L-1011 had a similar problem but one of the hydraulic systems survived and no one was injured. There weren't any other engine problems, and that was one of the few times anything actually related to the construction of an L-1011 caused an incident. The DC-10 on the other hand.. That was the one where pilots really got to put those disaster skills to the test.

There are multiple different types of bearings holding the 3 shafts to distribute the axial and radial loads. Cylindrical and tapered roller bearings, ball hearings and needle bearings are the common bearings used depending on their funciton and placement.

I feel a sense of security when boarding a plane and noticing RR written on the engines. Something tells me I'm in good hands.

Proud group. And they should be. Well done, RR.

Probably the only solid quality product of the UK ....❗️

Very inspiring video for a very inspiring company. Politics could certainly learn something from Rolls Royce.

Great video! Even as a pilot I never really realized all that goes into these engines! And did anyone else notice they stole the music from the movie Wall-E there?

i was in total awe of their skills to perfection until I saw the welds at 48:34.

Killer Documentary 😀😮😊 Amazing You Brits Are Awesome 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

Ady Kay-Module Fitter is my friend's Dad, I saw him make one of these. It was pretty cool.

you convinced me i want to buy all your engines, all of tehem...

Great video :) thanks for uploading this. Jet engines are so frickin awesome.

Modern day cars have a thermal efficiency of around 25% to 32%. Bypass fan engines from companies such as legendary Rolls Royce; thermal efficiency is around 97%. That is what I call engineering progress

The Best Engines in the World.... ROLLS ROYCE!!

When you think about the tolerances required to build both these turbofans and indeed the aircraft themselves, it's a staggering achievement... I remember reading about the design and building of the 747 and the entire aircraft are built to a tolerance of 1000th of a inch, the entire aircraft.. and those engines must be trebly so..let that sink in...

At 28:00 the blades being shown are now made by 3D metal printers ... if i'm not mistaken. In any case, Rolls-Royce (and other manufacturers of jet-engines) are certainly using 3D printers to make similar blades.

They make it sound like all the components are made in the UK.. They are certainly not. I've worked on over a hundred GenX Fan hub frames at Volvo Aero Corporation in Sweden. We make what the others can not =)

The one & only Engine!!...A ROLLS ROYCE!

Very good g

The video is very interesting.

It's interesting to watch this from the puget sound. In so many ways this area's relationship with Boeing mirrors that of Rolls Royce to Darby. Almost everyone here knows someone who works or has worked at Boeing. But where RR seems to be committed to it's roots there Boeing isn't & I think it shows. Each year it seems now Boeing is less and less well liked. Where Rolls seems to find success focusing on the development & production of engines and the like. Boeing has not, contracting out as much

Awesome vid;......England gives us the best rock music also!!!!

One bird strike can destroy an entire jumbo jet.

THIS is really fascinating stuff man, just excellent! Thanks for the upload!

i might get one of these for my bike

Thanks man... Now go & have a drink..sounds like ya need one!

I have one question. how long did it take u people to com with this idea to make this kind of engines

Looks like 2 fans hooked together.

that engineering is insatiable

The Boeing 787 in beginning at Paine field is the Boeing plant thats located in Everett, Wa. Not Seattle. Than they still go and talk about the weather in Seattle.

Finally I can start to build my own jumbo jet engine

Trick question, it really depends on what you're planning to use the engine for, if it was for a tractor you'd want something with a lot of low rpm torque such as an electric motor for an aircraft or ship you'd want something with lots of power and a constant speed like a turbine engine or some jet. As for hydrogen, in theory it could work in any combustion engine, since hydrogen would actually be the fuel, there's an episode of mythbusters where they run a conventional piston engine on it.

I have totally renewed faith now that Humanity will get to Mars ok. Man, that is some incredible engineering.

It's basically a huge hairdryer.

RR is an excellent engine company. But it isn't the best. It's by far GE. It's unfortunate that RR caused the only crash of a 777. It's fuel/ Oil heater was the cause of the problem. That is only one reason why some don't appreciate it.

Hi brygger222... old trick... its a funnel that is used to drags out an antenna (HF).

Damn. You're good.

You can actually build one from a turbo out of a truck that will run off a BBQ LPG tank. :)

That dude at the warehouse definitely ain't walking at least 16 miles a day

Yeah, yeah, yeah, the voice of agriculture.

wonderful Rolls Royce

No matter how much care and precision they excercise, errors happen. One almost brought down a Quatas A-380

I used to work on the F402-RR-408A engines

Still the greatest. Long live RR!

Just so amazing to see.

That's who I thought it was after a minute of listening, I actually still wonder if it's him or not.

I noticed that there are no muslims or africans contributing their massive intellectual skills to the project.........i guess they are too smart for this line of work..

It sounds like the old British car industry all over again.

Amazing work... Wow!! ? Just after 38:08 the narrator states that the main fan in flight spins faster than the speed of sound... Did he misspeak? I thought that all the fan blade components had to be subsonic in operation so they do not incurr sonic shock waves & break... Can anyone chime in on this? Thanks!

Well, according to my logical thinking process, you'll need a very jumbo basement space to do this in ....

exellent vid mate

beautiful tech

Very good documentary but it still missed out the names of a few keyparts. The "brain" of the engine is know as the FADEC (Full-Authority-Digital-Electronic-Control)

Man - Morning! Them - 👀 .. *Continues Working* Well Then !

notes taken... now I can get to work faster!

Amazing.

Really fantastic..!!

The DC-10 had the Pratt & Whitney JT9D and the GE CF6. Just sayin.

Just researched that it was an intermediate pressure turbine disc failure,but surely the engine design should be such that fragments are contained within the engine environment...

The uncontained failure you're referring to was a turbine disc failure - not the massive fan blade which is tested here. I can't remember the details but I think there was an overspeed event and they fixed the problem quickly (they had to). R-R has never had an uncontained fan blade failure on their large civil engines unlike their competitors.

31:11 Apollo crew skim around the moon.

That's just old age creeping in :-)

Wow after watching this makes me proud to be British!

Such a great company

They forgot to mention, do not mount defective stub pipes. They did in the Trent 900, which caused an oil fire. The engine caught fire, a turbine came apart and pieces severely damaged the landing system of a Qantus A380. The Qantus crew saved the day. If Rolls Royce does that one again they will be out of business.

nice tutorial!

hmmm, what was in the Kawasaki box? I know they build aircraft components too.

Quantas should switch to the best... ROLLS ROYCE!! Without a doubt!

what holds the shaft that holds the whole assembly shaft? are there any bearings

what is this background music in the start! please i have been looking for it for so looong

Don't you hate this background music on top of other noises, making it hard to hear the speech .

These guys are laying off 3300 people this year. Feels bad.

theres a video here on a steam engine flying a airplane in 1958 on steam with a 2 cyclinder engine. a electric motor is 95% efficient

Competition breeds excellence.

Anyone know where you can get this on DVD?

What is more efficient an engine then a fanjet?Hydrogen powered?

26:54 why aren’t they forged instead of cast? Wouldn’t that decrease imperfections?

Weeeh, I want to build one too!!!!!!

As a bloody Yank......... I am very proud to see a RR power the 787 Dream Liner! I would rather see GE power China's airplanes and not Boeing's impressive fleet ever. RR makes one heck of a power plant and that is easy to see if boeing choose an English compnay over an America based comany. Our true allies are the Britt's!

wait til they come up with steam planes.

They subcontract out a lot of production as most large manufacturing companies do
