Rolls-Royce Tay (turbofan)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
- See also: Rolls-Royce Tay (turbojet)
The Rolls-Royce RB.183 Tay is a development of the RB.163 civil Spey, using the low-pressure components from the famous RB.211 to produce a version with a bypass ratio increased to 3:1. It was initially developed as the Spey Junior. The Tay has been used on a number of small airliners and larger bizjets, including the Gulfstream IV, Fokker F70 and Fokker F100, with later versions being used to re-engine Boeing 727's.

Thrust: 13,850 lbf (62 kN)
Aircraft: Tay 611 entered service in 1987 on the Gulfstream IV/IV-SP, for which it is the exclusive powerplant. Originally designated 610-8, all but one training engine have been converted to 611-8 standard. The newest variant is the 611-8C which has a modified high pressure nozzle box, larger fan from the 650-15, and FADEC.
