Default loft conversion timber ridge beam ?

Trying to think outside the box.
I have plenty of headroom in the loft. What sized timber I beam would
I need to use instead of the typical RSJ to support the ridge ? Loft
size 5.5m x 7.5m, normal cut roof with purlins at 1/3 and 2/3 heights,
V onto spine wall at purlin mid point, clay tiles etc.
Thanks,
Simon.
