The Rolls-Royce Trent 900 is a high-bypass turbofan built by Rolls-Royce to power the Airbus A380, where it competes with the Engine Alliance GP7000. It was first proposed in 1996 for the Boeing 747-500/600X and then offered for the Airbus A3XX that became the A380. It first ran on 18 March 2003, made its maiden flight on 17 May 2004 on an Airbus A340 testbed and was certified by EASA on 29 October 2004. It produces up to 374 kN of thrust with a 2.95 metre fan, a bypass ratio of 8.5 to 8.7 to 1, and uses a contra-rotating high-pressure spool for the first time in the Trent family.
