thingiverse

The Turbo-Union RB199 is a double-flux turbofan engine that powers the Tornado. The RB199 is a modular engine, making maintenance easier. It was flight-tested on the Avro Vulcan, an aircraft used to test the Olympus 593 engines of the Concorde. A specially built nacelle fully representative of the Tornado's fuselage was attached beneath the Vulcan. The plane made its first flight in this configuration in 1972. RB199 Mk 101 The initial RB199 model that equipped the Tornado IDS, producing a vacuum thrust of 38.7 kN (8,700 lb) and 66.01 kN (14,840 lbf) with afterburning. RB199 Mk 103 Equips the Tornado IDS strike aircraft, generating a vacuum thrust of 40.5 kN and 73 kN with afterburning. RB199 Mk 104 Powers the British Tornado F.3, producing a vacuum thrust of 40.5 kN and 73 kN with afterburning. RB 199 Mk104D A derivative of the RB 199 Mk 104 that powers the BAe EAP1, featuring improved performance. RB199 Mk 105 Equips the Tornado ECR, available as an option on the Tornado IDS, producing a vacuum thrust of 42.5 kN and 74.3 kN with afterburning. RB199-122 A derivative of the RB 199 Mk 104 (initially designated Mk 104E1), which powered the first two prototypes of the Eurofighter Typhoon before the Eurojet EJ200 design was completed.
