Description: The RB211-535 is a three-shaft, high by-pass-ratio turbofan designed to power the Boeing 757 commercial aircraft. The first model RB211-535C entered service in 1983 and about 80% of B757 customers have selected this engine to power their aircraft. This engine is highly reliable and its operators benefit from low maintenance costs.

According to Rolls-Royce estimates, there are more than 1,200 RB211-535 turbofans powering B757 all over the world. These engines have logged more than 30 million flight hours in service with more than 50 airlines worldwide.

The 43,100-lb RB211-535E4B is the latest development of the RB211-535 turbofan. It provides higher thrust than its predecessors and it was introduced in 1989. Like its direct predecessor, -535E4, it powers the Boeing 757-200, -300 and Tu-204 jetliners.
