Rolls-Royce, How To Build A Jumbo Jet Engine


    I watched this show on YouTube yesterday evening. It's about 50% fluff, but the rest of it is pretty good. These engines sell for about $40 million each. The price is that high because Rolls Royce needs to recoup their investment if they are going to stay in business. The amount of work that went into developing the engine and the facilities to fabricate it is mind boggling. I suspect the cost of building the engine is probably less than half of the sales price.
    There are four videos in the series, each about 15 minutes long. At the end of each video YouTube provides a link to the next one.
