Rolls-Royce Trent 700

Aircraft Engines

The Rolls-Royce Trent 700 is a high-bypass turbofan developed by Rolls-Royce to power the Airbus A330 and is the first variant of the Trent family. It keeps the three-shaft architecture of the RB211 and has a 247 cm fan, a bypass ratio of 5 to 1, an overall pressure ratio of 36 to 1 and 300 to 316 kN of take-off thrust. Cathay Pacific selected it in April 1989, it first ran in summer 1992, was certified in January 1994 and entered service on 24 March 1995. The 700EP package of 2009 and later upgrades improved fuel consumption, and the engine also powers the Airbus A330 MRTT tanker and the BelugaXL transport.
