Turbofan engine - Trent 900
The Trent 900 is the engine of choice for the Airbus A380, with two thirds of operators selecting the engine. It delivers the lowest lifetime fuel burn and has excellent environmental attributes. The Trent 900 will continue to deliver customer benefits as it is part of a living engine family.The Trent 900 fleet now comprises 228 engines on 57 aircraft in service and have accumulated over 2.5 million hours by August 2013.
The Trent 900 demonstrates the result of the environment being the driving force behind its design. It satisfied all its key requirements, most delivering better than specification: fuel burn, noise, emissions, weight and power. The Trent 900 powered A380 is quiet, meeting the QC0.5 level for Arrivals and QC2 for departures.
As the fourth generation of the Trent family of engines, the Trent 900 benefits from our ability to feed back low-risk new technology from future generations. Rolls-Royce has a demonstrated commitment to continuous improvement, having already delivered a fuel burn improvement package for the Trent 900 during 2012. Further enhancement is planned to make the Trent 900 up to 1.8% better than the EIS engine.
The excellent environmental attributes of the engine are evident as it has the greatest cumulative margin to ICAO emission standards of any engine for the A380. The engine has the lowest NOx emissions for the A380, NOx is currently the only regulated emission subject to specific airport charging.
