In this video, we will learn about one of the most ambitious projects in modern aircraft engine construction. The Rolls-Royce Ultrafan is a project to create a new generation engine family, initiated by the British company in the mid-2010s. The project is based on the ongoing Advance3 program, which consists of updating the current Rolls-Royce Trent family with the introduction of a number of new solutions. The Ultrafan, being a continuation of the Advance3 program, involves further development of technologies. If implemented, the Rolls-Royce Ultrafan will become the basis for a whole family of new engines that will be able to replace most of the modern line of powerplants for passenger aircraft of various types: from small medium-range models to larger long-range ones. 00:00 – Meet the Ultrafan 00:36 – The Trent and its problems 04:06 – The Advance project 07:43 – The Ultrafan 14:53 – Engine performance 16:23 – The future
