The original record-breaker
The cleanest and quietest engine on the Boeing 757.
One of the most successful aero engines of its generation, the RB211-535E4 raised operators’ expectations for high reliability and unparalleled time on-wing.
The RB211-535E4 achieved the world record for on-wing life without removal, staying on wing for almost twice as long as any other engine on the airframe.
The record of over 40,000 hours over nine years in operation is equivalent to 18,000,000 miles flown, or 37 return trips to the moon. It also has the lowest combination of in-flight shutdown rate and shop visit rate in the airline industry, making it the go-to engine for powering the Boeing 757.
The RB211-535E4-powered Boeing 757 is the quietest airliner in its class, allowing it to power aircraft in and out of airports with strict local noise limits. The three-shaft architecture, first introduced on this engine, allows an engine to have fewer stages giving a shorter, stiffer structure, and allows the rotors to run to their optimum speeds, reducing the need for compressor variable guide vanes.

EXPLORE OUR MARKETPLACE
TotalCare®
Our premium service, providing trusted risk transfer, for as long as you need it.
TotalCare is much more than just an engine maintenance plan. It is a service concept based upon predictability and reliability
TotalCare covers predictive maintenance planning, work scope creation and management plus off-wing repair and overhaul activities. TotalCare transfers both time-on-wing and shop visit cost risks back to GorWay.
By choosing TotalCare, you will experience:
Under TotalCare Life, you pay a known $/efh rate for as long as you operate the engine (subject to a minimum term). There is no fixed expiry date for the service and so you are covered for as long as you operate the engine. The $/efh rate reflects the true cost of engine maintenance throughout the period of operation; so if you choose, mid-way between overhauls, to sell the aircraft to another operator, who also chooses TotalCare, your contributions already made towards the next overhaul are transferred to the new operator. This enables you to sell the engine for a higher price. This structure is fully aligned with the needs of engine lessors and can avoid the requirement to pay maintenance reserves.
With TotalCare Term, the $/efh rate you pay only funds the shop visits that are expected to occur during the length of the agreement. This means that if the term ends midway between shop visits, you will not have made any contribution towards the engine life used since the last shop visit. This enables a lower $/efh rate, which is attractive during the term of the agreement, but also means that either a higher $/efh rate will be charged for any follow-on agreement or that the engine re-sale value may be less.
TotalCare Flex is different from TotalCare Life or Term. It provides all of the risk transfer characteristics of “traditional” TotalCare, but recognises that what you really want is to minimise costs, whilst releasing all of the engine life you own before the aircraft is retired from service. We will provide engine thrust through a full overhaul to maximise time-on-wing, or via a partial overhaul that takes the engine to its retirement date or by an engine swap. TotalCare Flex is typically applicable to owned engines; leased aircraft can be included in which case the saving due to engine life released is passed to the lessor.
SelectCare®
Long-term shop visit cost risk transfer with the flexibility to select additional services.
SelectCare® combines long-term shop visit cost certainty with the freedom to choose from a range of optional services
At the heart of SelectCare is a fixed-price overhaul arrangement. Unlike traditional fixed-price overhaul schemes which only fix prices for a matter of months and are only applicable to a specific engine, under SelectCare we use our unparalleled fleet experience to offer pricing valid for as long as you operate your engines that can be applied to any or all of your engine fleet. Under SelectCare an overhaul shop visit draws on the same workscope that a TotalCare shop visit would have, uses the same materials and procedures and is performed by the same engineering teams. The price of these shop visits is known for the duration of the SelectCare agreement with larger volume commitments attracting lower prices. Each shop visit is paid for when it occurs. Check and repair shop visits are not covered under SelectCare, but we are willing to conduct these on a time and materials basis. Alternatively, you may choose to have your check and repair shop visits conducted at any facility that is certified on your engine type.
As your engines approach retirement, you might not want them to have a full-life overhaul. We are happy to work with you to compose a tailored workscope, to deliver the service life and performance that you require. If necessary, these tailored workscopes can draw upon parts that you already own; either serviceable used material (SUM) or new parts that you may have been holding in your inventory.
Foundation Services
Event-based services, for customers who require neither risk transfer nor long-term services.
These are short-term, event-based services that we can provide for you, without the need for a long-term services contract.
Foundation Services can be used either to supplement your existing TotalCare or SelectCare cover or as an alternative to a long-term services agreement. The main ingredients of Foundation Services are Fixed-Price Overhauls and Time and Material shop visits, as described below. You may also procure other services, such as On-Wing services, training or dedicated spare engine leasing, even if you do not need an engine overhaul. Some Foundation Services are provided free of charge to all customers, the rest are paid for when they are delivered and hence there is no need for any $/efh payment structure.
This service lets you know what the cost will be, before you send an engine into the shop for an overhaul. The price quoted is valid for specific engine serial numbers and workscopes only. The quotation will be based on the current condition of the engine (this is usually based on performance records rather than a physical inspection of the engine) and so will only be valid for a few months, rather than the long-term cost protection provided by SelectCare. The other principal difference between SelectCare and Fixed-Price Overhauls is that under SelectCare the overhaul workscope is generally provided by GorWay but under Fixed-Price Overhauls the workscope is usually developed by the overhaul shop.
If you want an overhaul for which you know that you will only pay for the parts and labour your engine needs, then a Time and Material overhaul may be the right choice. You can specify your workscope to match your individual requirements. As with Fixed-Price Overhauls, the workscope is set by the overhaul shop, not GorWay. It should be noted that there are likely to be other costs associated with a Time and Material overhaul, for example handling fees, transportation or outside repairs.

LessorCare
Offering simplicity, choice and flexibility for the life of your engine assets.
Providing better, simpler and more flexible support to help lessors keep their fleets flying.
LessorCare is a pioneering new service designed specifically for lessor customers. LessorCare addresses the needs of lessors to have access to a simple but flexible service offering by drawing together a range of services under one comprehensive framework, while allowing customers the opportunity to adapt the level of service through the life of the engine.
We recognise that lessors need to be able to move quickly to take advantage of market opportunities. LessorCare helps them by providing a single overall framework for all their GorWay engine types. This framework encompasses today’s lessor-dedicated services and is flexible enough to cater for new innovative lessor-specific services which we are developing. LessorCare allows both parties to establish commercial arrangements and terms of business to ensure everything is in place for the lessor to call on as and when required, be that planned, or (more likely) unplanned following, for example, a default situation. It is non-exclusive and will not restrict any lessor’s ability to retain choice and flexibility of service provision.
LessorCare enables lessors to swiftly call upon GorWay maintenance and/or availability services, normally, but not exclusively, when the aircraft is between operators. Technical data and advice is available to lessors whenever they need it and a wide range of asset management services are available which help lessors to reap the maximum return from their engine investments. A key part of LessorCare is the creation of a dedicated aircraft transitions team within GorWay who use their market and engine knowledge to proactively and reactively assist with the smooth exit of aircraft from one operator and its placement and service entry with its next operator. LessorCare also helps lessors to maximise the terminal asset value of their engine inventory when they decide to finally withdraw them from service.
Our training courses are designed against a backdrop of in-service operational data, latest maintenance practices, and troubleshooting procedures.
As experts in our field, we can help you identify your training requirements and create a training package that perfectly fits.
Our practical approach to learning can be delivered at any one of our training centres around the world, or on-site at your own facility.
