The '''Turbo-Union RB199''' is a [[turbofan]] [[jet engine]] designed and built in the early 1970s by [[Turbo-Union]], a joint venture between [[Rolls-Royce Limited|Rolls-Royce]], [[MTU Aero Engines|MTU]] and [[Aeritalia]]. 

The only production application was the [[Panavia Tornado]], but it was used in the British Aerospace EAP whose 1st flight was on 8 August 1986 from Warton, without use of a spare engine on its total 259 flights, and is now in RAF Cosford Museum. It was also used in the first two Prototypes of the Eurofighter Typhoon, whose 1st flight, by DA1, was from Manching, Bavaria on 27 March 1994, and for a further two years before the EJ200 engines were installed - good reliability meant the spare RB199 engine supplied was never used.
