THE ROLLS-ROYCE RB 211 three-shaft turbofan was certificated by the Air Registration Board and the Federal Aviation Administration in February. This advanced engine, rated at 42,0001b take-off thrust, is now being delivered in quantity to Lockheed for installation in TriStar airliners, 22 of which are scheduled for delivery in 1972. The first operators of this new RB 211-powered airliner are Eastern Air Lines and Trans World Airlines.
