Rolls-Royce Turbomeca Adour

Rolls-Royce Turbomeca Adour

The Adour jet engine is a two-shaft turbofan developed by Rolls-Royce Turbomeca Limited, a joint subsidiary of Rolls-Royce (UK) and Turbomeca (France).

History

The Adour was a turbofan engine developed primarily to power the Anglo-French SEPECAT Jaguars Fighter-bombers, achieving its first successful test run in 1968. It comes with or without the installation of an afterburner (reheat).

To date, more than 2,800 Adours have been produced, for 19 different armed forces with total flying hours logged at over 7 million. The U.S. military designation for this engine is the F405-RR-401 (a derivative of the Adour Mk 871), which is currently used to power the fleet of Boeing / BAE Systems T-45 Goshawk trainer jets of the US Navy.

Variants

Reheated
*Adour Mk 101
*Adour Mk 102 - Redesigned reheat system used to power French Jaguar As.
*Adour Mk 104
*Adour Mk 106 - Replacement for the Jaguar's Mk104 engine (developed from the Adour 871) with a reheat section. The RAF refitted its fleet with this engine as part of the GR3 upgrade.
