The Rolls-Royce Trent 800 is a high-bypass turbofan produced by Rolls-Royce plc, one of the engine options for the first-generation Boeing 777 variants, also known as 777 Classics. Launched in September 1991, [ 2 ] it first ran in September 1993, [ 1 ] was granted EASA certification on 27 January 1995, [ 3 ] and entered service in 1996. [ 4 ]
The MT30 (Marine Turbine) is a derivative of the Trent 800 (with a Trent 500 gearbox fitted), producing 36 MW for maritime applications. The current version is a turboshaft engine, producing 36 MW, using the Trent 800 core to drive a power turbine which takes power to an electrical generator or to mechanical drives such as waterjets or propellers.
The Trent 500 is essentially a scaled Trent 800, with a 2.47 m (97 in) fan with 26 unswept blades like the Trent 700. The IP and HP compressors and scaled-down by 20% from the Trent 892, while the turbines are scaled-down by 90% and are made of single crystal CMSX-4 alloy with thermal barrier coatings. Fuel burn is 1% lower because of 3D ...
British Airways soon replaced the GE90 with the Rolls-Royce Trent 800 on their 777s. In addition the GE90's increased thrust was not yet required by airlines and it was also the heaviest engine of the three available choices, making it the least popular option on these first generation 777s (777-200 and 777-200ER, also known collective as the ...
The Rolls-Royce MT30 (Marine Turbine) is a marine gas turbine engine based on the Rolls-Royce Trent 800 aero engine. The MT30 retains 80% commonality with the Trent 800, the engine for the Boeing 777. The maximum power rating is 40 MW and minimum efficient power 25 MW. [1] Rolls-Royce announced the MT30 program on 11 September 2001.
The Trent 900 is an axial flow, high bypass turbofan with the three coaxial shafts of the Rolls-Royce Trent family. The 2.95 m (116 in) fan with swept blades is driven by a 5-stage LP turbine, the 8-stage IP compressor and the 6-stage HP compressor are both powered by a single stage turbine, with the HP spool rotating in the opposite direction of the others.
Rolls-Royce claims that the Trent 700 has the lowest life cycle fuel burn, and is the quietest and cleanest engine available on the A330. [16] Cathay Pacific is the largest operator, with 31 Trent 700-powered A330s. Rolls received orders for 140 of the type during the Paris Air Show in June 2007.
The Rolls-Royce Trent XWB is a high-bypass turbofan produced by Rolls-Royce Holdings.In July 2006, the Trent XWB was selected to exclusively power the Airbus A350. [2] The first engine was run on 14 June 2010, [3] it first flew on an A380 testbed on 18 February 2012, [4] was certified in early 2013, [5] and first flew on an A350 on 14 June 2013. [6]
