Rolls Royce Olympus

Test run: Rolls Royce Olympus at S&S Turbines open-air test cell.
One of the largest turbojet engines, about 40 thousand Hp in the industrial version shown here.

Looking in the front at startup, you can clearly see the freshly cleaned elements of the low-pressure compressor:

First are the struts, which hold the front main bearing firmly in place.
The LP rotating shaft is supported by this bearing.

Second, you see the copper-colored inlet guide vanes. On many engines these are able to move, but in the Olympus they are fixed.


Then the blades of the first stage of the turning compressor shaft.
They are made of solid titanium alloy, and it took 2 days to hand polish them.

Next, the first stage of compression is made complete by stator vanes, which are directly behind the spinning blades.

The Olympus is the engine used in the Concorde, and the Vulcan Bomber. Both used four Olympus engines, each with an afterburner. This engine does not have an afterburner.
This engine is used to generate electricity. A lot of it!

Very hard to test one of this engines, you will probably need 15 to 20 yeas of xp to get there. I'm going to be an A&P tech in about 1 year and this is my life.
projectraven1 (2 weeks ago)
Its always fun to see these engines bench tested. Several times been inside siemens formely alstoms of lincoln, who build and service gas turbines and test them in large armored rooms to destruction sometimes. their reliability is absolutely astounding, they are unbelievably good! but rarely they have had some eventually explode you could see the marks inside the room on the walls still lol

Thanks! I love aircraft and trains. And I like very much to hear the startup sounds of the jet aircraft engines.. Keep posting this videos

The 737-200 used the Pratt & Whitney JT8D
Ivanvideoscaseros5 (2 weeks ago)
Nice video! I wanna ask you: this kind of engines are used in Boeing 737-200 comercial jets? I guess so cause it sounds alike.. sorry if what I´m asking you is kind of obvious, and my English is not good either.. but I enjoyed a lot this video so I wanted to comment on it Best regards Iván

i used to work for preci spark they make inserts for the static compressor blade and combustion chambers for the new trent series engines
AgentJayZ (2 months ago)
The J58 in the SR71 did act as a ramjet above a certain speed. ( not sure of the transition point). Bypass is a term describing that portion of the airflow that is diverted around the combustors and turbines of the engine, also some of the compressor stages. The term does not apply to the J58, because when acting as a ramjet, all of the intake air is being mixed with fuel and burned in the combustion section. It is a very interesting design of engine. I'm not aware of any other like it.
Skippy585 (2 months ago)
Ok, so there in comming air was moved directly into the combustion stage of the engine. Yes it was acting more like a high by pass engine above mach 2.
DARKSCOPE001 (2 months ago)
@Skippy585 sort of. the engines used in the black bird were actualy a turbo jet untill about mach 3 then there were bypass tubes that fed ram pressure air from the pre compressor stage directly into the power section of the engine because the aircraft was moving so fast this gave the proper pressure wall for the burning fuel to push against (how jet engine basicly works is expanding fuel pushes against the pressure wall behind it expanding into the turbine section) thus becoming more efficent
Skippy585 (2 months ago)
I actually seen an F15C demo at an airshow years ago. Wasn't as loud as I thought it would be. Not like the thunderous F/A 18 hornet.
Skippy585 (2 months ago)
I bet a Ram Jet could fix that problem. That was part of the technology used on the SR-71 Black Bird. As a matter of fact is was simular to a Turbo fan in which the motor had a fan-assisted ramjet.
DARKSCOPE001 (2 months ago)
actualy many fighters use turbofans. they make much more power and are much more efficent. because not all of the thrusting air and gas has to go through the compressor power and turbine sections of the engines it can come straight from the fan where it is still cold from altitude and doesent need to bend around inside the engine. all you need to do is slow the incoming air to below mach and let the engine gulp it up check out movalble ducts like whats on the f-15 its neat
DARKSCOPE001 (2 months ago)
no the concorde is a turbo jet because in order to get a turbo fan to operate at altitude you have to slow the incoming airstream to a certian velocity before the engine can make any trust. a turbo fan can operate at a higher inlet velocity (still below sonic) but higher
AgentJayZ (2 months ago)
The F-4 used two J79s, and the A-4 (most of them) used the J52. These are both single-shaft turbojet engines. The F-404 is a two shaft low bypass turbofan engine. The more powerful F-414 is a two shaft low bypass turbofan. I've always thought of the F-404 as a "modern" engine. I call the other fighter engines low bypass in comparison to the high bypass airliner engines.
Skippy585 (2 months ago)
The F/A 18 Hornet (A-D) was the only modern figher to use a Low by pass turbo jet engine (GE: F-404) each capabable of over 18,000 lbs thurst each. Of course with the Super Hornet; bought the use of a more, modern Turbo Fan (GE:F-414) So, therefore the legacy hornet is the only fighter used in the U.S Navy that uses engines simular to the older A-4 and F-4 Phantom jets. Cheers
AgentJayZ (2 months ago)
All modern fighters use a low bypass turbofan, because it is more efficient, and the afterburner works even better because the combined exhaust flow from the core and the bypass has more available oxygen than the exhaust from a turbojet. The Olympus is one of the few dual spool turbojets out there. The P&W J57 is another.
Skippy585 (2 months ago)
I figured the Concorde used a Turbo Fan engine instid of a Turbo Jet. Just like that of the B-1 Lancer. Of course the 1st Lancer had engines that produced up to 37,000 pounds of thurst, but they were derated for the B1B.
Boeing757luvr (2 months ago)
so this isnt from a plane
AgentJayZ (2 months ago)
All of the Olympus engines we have rebuilt so far have been from electrical generating applications.
Boeing757luvr (2 months ago)
well than wut is it used for??????????
AgentJayZ (2 months ago)
This engine does not produce thrust, but is an industrial powerplant rated at 25MW. I have seen some non-afterburning Olympus flight engines rated at 35,000 lbs thrust. The Concorde used a much-upgraded version of the Olympus, called the 593. An industrial version of that engine was designed, but never produced, and it was rated at 50MW.
Skippy585 (2 months ago)
What was the maximum thrust rating?
