I have flown both RB211 and the crap and Whitney 2000 series 757’s and they’re different as Night and Day the crap I mean Pratt’s were quiet and very anemic even the 57 300 that has RB211s sits you back in the seat and climbs like a rocket ship 🚀
If it is what I think it’s just blow by most all engines have it if it’s from the front not smoke it’s creating mini tornadoes …let me know if that helps
It's a centrifugal breather, when the engine's worked hard the accessory engine gearbox dumps off air from the engine lubrication system. The harder it's worked the harder it breathes and hence the increase in smoke from the stack pipe👍
You'll notice the smoke is a white bluey colour which is oil and air mixed as some of the oil is passed out through vent as the breather is not 100% efficient at removing just air.
@@monkeybusiness1.21Gwh Yup. Prior to the United/Continental merger, United's 757-200s were all P&W engines. Continental brought the Rolls Royce RB-211s over for their 757s. I believe all of United's 757s that had the P&W engines have been retired/aged out, with just a handful in storage.
With out an actual meter I don’t know a good 1/4 mile away in side it’s LOUD YOU CANT BE ANY WHERE NEAR IT EVEN AT IDLE WITH OUT HEARING PROTECTION standing at the nose gear running the ground ops we have the head set on it’s STILL pretty loud ONE OF MY FAVORITE OLDER ENGINES
Agreed, unfortunately for the L-1011 Tristar it was so over-engineered that it's cost over-runs and development delays caused Lockheed to lose a majority of it's orders. It's a shame because that was a mighty fine aircraft with eventually 3 mighty fine turbofans!
What a combo boeing and rolls royce,had the pleasure and satisfaction on flying several rr powerd 757s beautiful aircraft

Arguably the greatest narrowbody ever and arguably the greatest turbofan ever made.

the static electricity at 14:40 is wild
RR power 💪 🇬🇧
Hi there, I have a curious question.
What is that smoke coming a the bottom of the engine?

The intelligent ones 😎 lame man terms…blow by we all learned today 🤙🏻
Was this with a United Airlines B757-200?
Ex Continental 757-200 😬😉

How many decibels those engines produce? Does it hurt ears at that distance without hearing protection?

In my eyes the finest commercial turbofan ever fitted to an aircraft.
Your not wrong! It also live on today in the trent engines... live long the RB211

The trent 700 is based on the RB211.
14:20 😮
That's what you get when you run the engine at full power while holding on the brakes.
