The Rolls-Royce Trent or RB.50 (for Rolls-Barnoldswick, after the Barnoldswick manufacturing plant) was the worlds first turboprop engine. It was based on a concept provided by Sir Frank Whittle and was essentially a Derwent Mark II turbojet engine with an additional turbine stage driving a reduction gearbox connected to a five-bladed propeller. It was tested in a Gloster Meteor jet fighter.
