The silver-finished engine nacelle incorporates a broad transparent viewport revealing a central shaft, compressor stages, turbine stages, combustion chambers, fuel-supply system, and color-coded airflow passages. Clearly printed labels identify the \"AIR INTAKE,\" \"COMPRESSORS,\" \"FUEL SUPPLY,\" \"TURBINES,\" and \"COMBUSTION CHAMBER.\"\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThe engine is fitted with a freely turning four-blade propeller and supported above a beveled wooden base by two chromed metal uprights. A detailed plaque explains the compression, combustion, turbine, reduction-gearing, and propeller-drive sequence. A second plaque reads, \"THE ROLLS-ROYCE DART PROP-JET POWERS THE FAIRCHILD F27 OPERATED BY PACIFIC AIRLINES.\" A push-button control and concealed wiring remain present, although the electrical demonstration function has not been verified.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nRolls-Royce introduced the Dart to commercial aviation during the early 1950s, helping establish the turboprop as a practical powerplant for passenger aircraft. Pacific Airlines ordered six Rolls-Royce-powered Fairchild F-27s and placed its first three into revenue service on April 26, 1959.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nItem is in good condition; the base shows edge wear, one chip, and scattered scratches. The explanatory lettering remains crisp and complete, while the small Rolls-Royce logo on the engine exhibits deterioration. The plastic viewing port has a few light scratches, and the propeller turns freely. The underside of the engine displays a series of black marks. The underside of the base is inscribed \"368\" and \"PAC.\" Electrical operation has not been tested.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n14.25\" L x 7.25\" W x 10\" H\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nMM - 22854 - 102726\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor information regarding shipping, please visit our Terms \u0026amp; Conditions page \u003ca class=\"GeneratedLink\" href=\"https:\/\/industrialartifacts.net\/pages\/shipping\" target=\"_blank\"\u003ehere\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n","brand":"Industrial Artifacts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":68041816375339,"sku":"22854","price":1750.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0194\/8170\/files\/e0984741-97d3-5773-b014-a661f68c39e7.jpg?v=1793143808","url":"https:\/\/industrialartifacts.net\/products\/vintage-pacific-airlines-rolls-royce-dart-f-27-cutaway-demonstration-engine","provider":"Industrial Artifacts","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
