Rolls-Royce Trent XWB

Aircraft Engines

The Rolls-Royce Trent XWB is a high-bypass turbofan built by Rolls-Royce Holdings, selected in July 2006 to power the Airbus A350 exclusively. The first engine ran on 14 June 2010, it first flew on an Airbus A380 testbed on 18 February 2012, it was certified in early 2013 and it first flew on an A350 on 14 June 2013. It keeps the three-shaft layout of the Trent family, with a 3 metre fan, a bypass ratio of 9.6 to 1 and a pressure ratio of 50 to 1, and delivers between 375 and 431 kN of thrust, which makes it the most powerful member of the Trent family. Its first in-flight shutdown came on 11 September 2018.
