Inside the Rolls-Royce Heritage Center – Indianapolis Museum Tour

Описание: Tour of the Rolls-Royce Heritage Center / museum in Indianapolis. We walk through the displays and look at several iconic powerplants, including:

The legendary Rolls-Royce Merlin V-12 piston engine from WWII (Spitfire, Mustang, Lancaster, etc.)
An early U.S. centrifugal-flow jet: the Allison J33, showing first-gen turbojet tech
An Allison J35 axial-flow turbojet, the USAF’s first axial engine, showing the next step after the J33
Multiple Allison/Rolls-Royce small turboshafts from the M250 (Allison 250) family — C18, C20, and the B-series/turboprop — plus the military T63 designation
The F-35B Rolls-Royce LiftSystem / LiftFan display (vertical/short takeoff system)
And a pair of Allison T56 turboprops (C-130/P-3 engine), shown as axial-flow gas generators with prop reduction gear
