The A350 XWB’s Trent Engine Rolls Out For Initial Flight Tests

Single Engine Designed For All Variants Of The Airliner

Airbus has completed installation of the first Rolls-Royce Trent XWB flight test engine on its A380 “flying-testbed” aircraft. The aircraft and engine will now be prepared for the flight test campaign commencing in the coming weeks.

The Trent XWB engine, which is the largest Rolls-Royce turbofan with a 118-inch diameter fan, has been specially designed to power all members of the new Airbus A350 XWB Family with maximum efficiency.

Last month, the engine  completed a 150-hour endurance type test at INTA (Instituto Nacional de Tecnica Aeroespacial) in Madrid, Spain. Based on the internal condition of the engine, speeds and temperatures were increased from the original target during the test. Rolls-Royce currently has eight Trent XWB engines in its test program.
