Remarks (Bemerkungen)

The RR500 is the latest member of the small engine family. The  multi-fuel capable, 350 to 450 shp class turbine was developed to deliver excellent altitude performance for a range of light single and twin-engine fixed wing aircraft. The RR500 core is based upon the RR300, which was launched in 2007 to power the Robinson Helicopter R66, scaled up to deliver increased airflow and power.
The RR500 features:

• multi-fuel capabilities for AvGas independence
• an electronic engine monitoring system
• quiet, smoth operation with up to 10 db improvements in cabin noise
• reduction gearboxes for either 2090 or 2400 rpm available

History (Geschichte)
Rolls-Royce announced the launch of a new turboprop engine, the RR500, on 29 July 2008 at the EAA Air Venture in Oshkosh. At that time, first engine to test was planned for 2009 and certification was expected within three years. Rolls-Royce said it was in discussion with all aircraft manufacturers needing this power range. Retrofit applications are also possible.
