HOW TO BUILD A JUMBO JET ENGINE
This is a thread from one of the "backroom boys and girls without whom nothing would leave the ground" (retired).
I've just finished watching the BBC2 documentary "How to build a Jumbo Jet Engine" episode 2 of 3 which was broadcast on Sunday (4 Dec 2011) evening.
It was focused on the design and build of the Trent series of Rolls Royce turbofan engines. I wish I had watched episode 1.
It was a really, really good programme which showed off the best of British engineering and the enormous attention to detail which the "backroom boys and girls" exercise every day to make flying probably the safest mode of transport in today's world.
I will certainly watch episode 3 of 3 next Sunday and I recommend it to you all.
Best wishes SOS
