Abstract
THE RB199 is an advanced three‐shaft augmented turbofan under development by Turbo‐Union Ltd to power the twin‐engined Panavia 200 multi‐role combat aircraft for the air forces of Britain, Germany and Italy. The turbofan is in the forefront of aero engine technology in the West, and in terms of numbers to be built — in excess of 2,500 — is by far the largest European engine programme to date. Rolls‐Royce (1971), British participant in the project, has described it as “probably the best example of how to co‐operate in Europe”.
