Rolls-Royce has delivered its 1000th Trent XWB–84, achieving another key milestone for the engine programme. The engine, which will power an Airbus A350-900, was built at the company’s Production Test Facility in Derby, England.
The Trent XWB-84 is the latest in the Trent family to reach this milestone, and has done so faster than any of its predecessors, says Rolls-Royce.
The Trent XWB-84 has now achieved more than eight million engine flying hours in service with more than 30 operators.
Rolls-Royce maintains that the Trent XWB-84 has a 15% fuel consumption advantage over the first Trent engine, and is also ready to operate on Sustainable Aviation Fuels as they become more available to airlines in the future.
As well as offering improved efficiency, the Trent XWB-84 delivers a step change in maturity and reliability for the industry, consistently achieving better than 99.9% dispatch reliability.
Chris Cholerton, President Rolls-Royce Civil Aerospace, said: “Reaching this milestone is another great achievement for the Trent XWB-84, which is the most efficient aero engine in service. It is important to our customers to build ever more efficient fleets, and new-generation engines, like the Trent XWB-84 allow them to achieve this. We would like to thank everyone, including our customers, employees, partners and suppliers who have helped create the engine programme’s success.”
