EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph, the Rolls-Royce/Snecma Olympus 593-3B powerplant is being meticulously installed into the second Concorde prototype, 002. The Concorde, a supersonic passenger airliner, was a groundbreaking achievement in aviation history, and the Olympus 593-3B engine was a crucial component of its design. The installation process is underway in this image, with engineers carefully positioning the engine into place. The Olympus 593-3B engine, a masterpiece of aerospace engineering, was a two-shaft, high-bypass turbofan engine, designed specifically for the Concorde's supersonic flight capabilities. Its advanced design allowed for improved fuel efficiency and reduced noise levels, making it an essential part of the Concorde's revolutionary design. The Concorde program was a joint venture between the British and French governments, with Rolls-Royce and Snecma (now Safran) responsible for the engine design and manufacture. The installation of the Olympus 593-3B engine into the Concorde prototype marked a significant milestone in the development of the supersonic airliner. The Concorde, with its sleek design and supersonic capabilities, captured the imagination of the world when it first took to the skies in 1969. The Rolls-Royce/Snecma Olympus 593-3B engine played a vital role in making this vision a reality, enabling the Concorde to reach speeds of over twice the speed of sound. This photograph is a testament to the ingenuity and innovation of the aerospace industry and the incredible engineering feats that continue to push the boundaries of what is possible in aviation.
