DELIVERY of the first of 12 Boeing 757's powered by Rolls-Royce RB 211–535 E4 turbofans was made to Eastern Airlines in October and the aircraft entered service with the carrier a short while afterwards. This followed a comprehensive programme of testing which culminated in certification of the powerplant by the FAA. Flight testing included engine operating characteristics, in-flight starts and general aircraft performance as well as flight deck electronic/engine compatibility and the collection of pertinent data for flight manual revisions. Eastern Airlines at present operates a fleet of fifteen RB 211–535 C powered 757's which will be retrofitted with the —535 E4. In the UK, Monarch Airlines' Boeing 757's will also be retrofitted with the new engines.
