| Rolls Royce Trend XWB engine |
An advanced version of its Trend 1000 engine, incorporating technology from the latest Trent XWB engine, which exclusively powers the Airbus A350 XWB, the Trent 1000-TEN (Thrust, Efficiency and New technology) will provide an improvement of up to 3% in specific fuel consumption (SFC) compared with the Trent 1000s in service today.
The engine, which is scheduled to be certified to 78,000lbs thrust by the end of 2015, will offer commonality for customers operating a combination of 787 Dreamliner models and provide margin to Boeing requirements for 76,000lbs of thrust at entry into service.
It is scheduled to enter service in 2016 when it will be available to power the -8 and -9 versions of the Boeing 787 Dreamliner. It can also power the under development 787-10X.
The Trent-TEN incorporates advances in the high pressure (HP) turbine and compressor, ‘blisk’ technology and sophisticated internal aerodynamics controls.
The Trent 1000 has now completed over 250,000 in-service flying hours with an engine dispatch reliability of better than 99.9%. It powered the first 787-8 entry into service with ANA in 2011 and will power the first 787-9 into service later this year.
