Milestone: 10 million flying hours in nearly 5 million flights for the ultra-reliable long distance business aircraft engine – the Rolls-Royce Tay 611-8
LONDON, 17-Apr-2019 — /EuropaWire/ — Rolls-Royce has just announced its Tay 611-8 engine has recently reached to 10 million flying hours milestone in after having had nearly 5 million flights. The engine was originally launched in 1987 and is powering range of Gulfstream’s large-cabin business aircraft as the Gulfstream GIV, GIV-SP, G300 and G400. Outstanding dependability, efficiency and low noise generation have earned a great reputation for the Rolls-Royce’s Tay 611-8 engine.
Tay 611-8’s incredible performance helped Gulfstream GIV to revolutionise the business aviation market with its high cruising speed and the 4,300 nautical miles intercontinental range.
The Tay 611-8 engine has broken many records for speed and range over the past 30 years. Stepping on these achievements the Tay 611-8C engine, Tay 611-8 successor, is today powering the Gulfstream G350 and G450.
As of today, there are more than 1,700 Tay 611-8 and Tay 611-8C engines in service. Rolls-Royce’s market leading CorporateCare® supports many of them.
The deal for the first ever Tay order contract, made by then the company’s Managing Director Sir Ralph Robins and Gulfstream’s founder Allen Paulson is part of the aviation history. Officially signed in March 1983, the story goes that in December 1982 the basic details such as engine price, quantity, payment terms, etc., have been written on a napkin in less than 10 minutes by Sir Ralph Robins.

With its legendary reliability the Tay 611-8 became the benchmark for ultra-reliable long distance business aircraft and perfectly illustrates why Rolls-Royce is the leading engine manufacturer in Business Aviation.
