The Rolls-Royce MT30 is a marine gas turbine engine that Rolls-Royce developed from its Trent 800 aero engine, the powerplant of the Boeing 777, with which it keeps about 80 percent commonality and the same three-shaft architecture. Its maximum power rating is 40 MW, it is flat-rated at 36 MW across inlet temperatures from minus 40 to plus 38 degrees Celsius, and its minimum efficient power is 25 MW. Rolls-Royce announced the programme on 11 September 2001 and the first engine ran on 6 September 2002. After an American Bureau of Shipping approval test completed in July 2004 it was certified for production. Its listed applications include the Royal Navy Queen Elizabeth-class aircraft carriers and Type 26 frigates, the US Zumwalt-class destroyers and Freedom-class littoral combat ships, and frigates for South Korea, Japan and Australia.
