Rolls-Royce launched the new Trent 7000 turbofan engine that will exclusively power the new Airbus A330neo jetliner at the 2014 Faranbourgh Airshow.
The 68-72,000lb thrust Trent 7000 is the seventh member of the Trent engine family.
The Trent 7000 engine will brings together the latest technologies from the Trent 700, Trent 1000-TEN and the new Trent XWB.
It will improve specific fuel consumption by ten per cent; have twice the bypass ratio; and will halve perceived noise.
The first engine test run is planned for 2015 with certification expected in 2017, supporting an aircraft entry into service in Q4 2017.
