I recently acquired diagrams of a B-52 with six high-bypass turbofans. Sadly, the diagram lacks data on *which* engines those were, and when the design was made. So: does this look familiar?
Could be any of several, I think.
The full diagrams have been posted into the 2016-01 folder on the APR Patron Dropbox site. If interested, this and many, many other high-rez aerospace goodies are available to all APR Patreon patrons at the $4 level and higher. So, check it out…
When I worked at Roll-Royce at the turn of the century (seem so long ago), there was alway company talk/mythology about bids/contracts for replacing the engines on the B-52 with the TRENT series engines.
Though, being on the IT side, and not the engineering or sales side, i don’t know how much credibility this had. it might have just been an ‘urban myth’?
