The Rolls-Royce Trent 500 is a high-bypass turbofan built by Rolls-Royce to power the larger Airbus A340-500 and A340-600. It keeps the three-spool architecture of the Trent family, combining the 2.47 metre fan of the Trent 700 with a scaled-down core of the Trent 800, and it produces up to 275 kN of take-off thrust with a cruise bypass ratio of up to 8.5 to 1. It was selected in June 1997, first ran in May 1999, first flew in June 2000, was certified on 15 December 2000 and entered service in July 2002 on a Virgin Atlantic A340-600. By the time A340 production ended, 524 Trent 500 engines had been delivered on 131 aircraft.
