The Rolls-Royce/Snecma Olympus 593 was an Anglo-French turbojet with reheat, which powered the supersonic airliner Concorde.

The Concorde Olympus 593 Mk 610 engine, remain to this day the most efficient jet engine in the world at Mach 2, where thermal efficiency in concerned. But at lower speeds the engines consumes fuel at a massive rate.

Concorde is a tailless aircraft design with a narrow fuselage permitting 4-abreast seating for 92 to 128 passengers, an ogival delta wing and a droop nose for landing visibility. It is powered by four Rolls-Royce/Snecma Olympus 593 turbojets with variable engine intake ramps, and reheat for take-off and acceleration to supersonic speed.

The engines on the Concorde provided the thrust necessary for takeoff, cruising and landing. The Concorde had four Rolls Royce/Snecma Olympus 593 turbo jet engines. Each engine generated 18.7 tons (180 kN) of thrust. Together, the four engines burned 6,771 gallons (25,629 liters) of …

This section covers Concordes MASSIVE engines, Intakes and Exhaust Nozzles. Concorde was truly groundbreaking technology, find out about th eintakes system and how air travelling at 1350 Mph was slowed down to around 600 Mph in just 14 feet.

2015年5月3日 · The Concorde is powered by a bunch of Rolls-Royce/Snecma Olympus 593 turbojet engines. Much has been said about how efficient they are at speed, and the fact that they allow long-range cruise at Ma...

2019年4月9日 · Concorde might have had four supersonic Olympus 593 engines, but pilots only fired them two at a time – to prevent passengers spilling their Champagne under the force of the thrust.

The Rolls-Royce/Snecma Olympus engines that are fitted to Concorde are a highly developed version of the Bristol-Siddeley Olympus that was fitted to the Vulcan bomber, which generated 11,000Lbs of thrust. Roll-Royce provided the development of the Olympus engines while SNECMA developed the exhaust and reheat system.

Concorde has many interesting technical features, but its variable geometry engine air in-take system has to stand out as one of the most outstanding ones. Its function is required to ensure that the Olympus engines get just the right amount of air moving at the correct speed through a wide variety of airspeeds.

Aerospace Engineering at Illinois gained a unique part of aeronautics history when representatives from Rolls-Royce visited Thursday (September 4, 2014) to dedicate to the department one of the company’s Olympus engines used on the supersonic Concorde airliner.
