Narrative:
Everything was normal on takeoff. All engines' parameters were normal. After reaching our cruise altitude of 1000', we heard a pop and felt a slight yaw. At the same time the warning lights flashed, indicating a right engine failure. I looked at the engine INS and confirmed it was the right engine that had failed. The intercom had also failed as a result of the engine failure. The appropriate emergency checklists were completed. We declared an emergency and returned to den. We landed visually on runway 26R uneventfully. At this time we do not know what caused the engine failure.
