Inside Rolls Royce Factory - Building Future Jet Engines

I visited the Rolls Royce Engine factory in Derby, England in January. This vlog takes a detailed look at how Rolls Royce build the XWB engine, the exclusive engine on Airbus A350. We also take a look at the various engine test bed sites, including their latest test site bed 80 which is under construction.
In the vlog Rolls Royce explain what went wrong with their Trent 1000 engines on the Boeing 787, also their future plans for the much bigger Ultra Fan Engine.

[@ianburit3705]

From a boy of 17 to a 55 year old retiring, I`ve worked on / produced most RR stuff be they RR UK or RR Germany, but I also was just only 1 of 2 people making Airbus landing gear parts.. So proud to watch this Video SAM, thank you,.. Ian, now 72 years of age.

[@BoardwalkBullies]

@@nnnnnn3647 yeah, Qantas 32. A single imperfectly drilled oil passage almost crashed an a380. They tired to do a secret recall on all of those Trent 900 engines but it got out anyway. They basically just stopped talking to the press until it was addressed. Had it not been for the A380 having 300 miles of internal wiring (the debris from the explosion actually severed the fly by wire controls for the side sticks, thankfully it has a duplicate set on the other side) it certainly would have been the first and only A380 crash and the first and only fatal crash for Quantas.

Many many kudos to the Rolls engineers !! You guys keep reinventing the wheel. I am actually checking these videos out to soothe my mind. I have invested heavily into RR stock and I’m going to keep it that way regardless of what happens price wise. I have a lot of faith in this company. The world would be very different and run by a little mustachioed fellow if not for you guys ! The beauty of these machines is on another level.

You can find more information here: careers.rolls-royce.com/students-and-graduates/internships/#what-next-us-row All the steps for applying are in the application. I'd also recommend reading the webpage as it gives some good info about the program. After you submit the application, they may very well send you online assessments which you have to complete.

Although you don't have to be at the absolute top of the class, I would be aiming to be in the upper percentile. Competing for a position at RR should be enough motivation to put in the work.

@@flanker2724 Nb man hope I could be helpful. I'm in first year too, seems like we share some common interest 😎 In my program anyway, third year is normally the year where we can either study abroad or do a year in industry. I'm hoping to do it then. It'll give us both plenty of time to prepare etc... In terms of skills, I'm not too sure but I'd assume apart from technical knowledge (matlab/how engines work/materials etc..), teamwork is one of the most important. Most of these big companies do a lot of work in teams as the problems they have to solve (mostly technical) can be quite difficult so good team work skills/ interpersonal skills will be beneficial. The ability to communicate your ideas efficiently using clear and concise language. These skills can be developed and nurtured by completing group assignments, giving presentations or solving problems as part of a team. Sometimes being a good follower is better than a leader. More often than not, being a good communicator is as important as being able to work out complex mathematical problems.

Like those leading edges! Great job on the LPT (low pressure turbine stages) gearing! You guys (&Competition!) are slowly eeking out every last bit of power from each drop of fuel over time, pretty soon we might be using low density plasma to lower the friction of high dynamic velocity parts. Wow, never heard a company publicly take responsibility for design issues like that. Very open, good practice.
