Rolls-Royce despatches 100th Trent XWB for service with Singapore Airlines

Rolls-Royce despatched its 100th Trent XWB engine, which entered service on a Singapore Airlines A350 XWB. The engine left the Rolls-Royce site in Derby, UK to Toulouse where it powered the Singapore Airlines’ fourth Airbus A350 XWB.

The Trent XWB is the world’s most efficient engine flying today, and the fastest-selling wide-body engine with more than 1,500 engines sold to 41 customers. It has already delivered the best-ever entry into service for a large engine since it entered commercial service in January 2015.

Chris Young, Rolls-Royce, Director, Programmes – Civil Aerospace, said: “It is great to reach this milestone and we continue to increase Trent XWB production to meet future demand.” Singapore Airlines has a total of 67 A350-900 aircraft on order, all powered by the Trent XWB.
