The A380 is offered with the Rolls-Royce Trent 900 (A380-841/-842) or the Engine Alliance GP7000 (A380-861) turbofan engines. [153] The Trent 900 is a combination of the 3 m (118 in) fan and scaled IP compressor of the 777-200X/300X Trent 8104 technology demonstrator derived from the Boeing 777's Trent 800 , and the Airbus A340-500/600's Trent ...
The Engine Alliance GP7000 is a turbofan jet engine manufactured by Engine Alliance, a joint venture between General Electric and Pratt & Whitney. It is one of the powerplant options available for the Airbus A380, along with the Rolls-Royce Trent 900.
Boarding an A380 is a unique experience that introduces passengers to superior standards of in-flight comfort, from first class to economy. As the world’s largest and most spacious passenger aircraft, its cabin allows travellers to stretch out in a calm and relaxing environment.
The A380 is available with two different engine options, the Rolls-Royce Trent 900 or the Engine Alliance GP7270. These different options lead to the three variants of the A380 that have separate type certificates: The A380-841 was certified in December 2006, with Trent 970 engines. The A380-842 was certified at the same time using slightly ...
The Airbus A380 is four-engined long-range wide-body airliner with two full length passenger decks with a maximum of 853 passengers produced by the European manufacturer Airbus. The A380 is the world's largest airliner.
A380 carries more passengers than any other aircraft while minimising emissions and noise. Lower emissions, significantly below international guidelines: NOx 30% below CAEP/6, 16.4 EPNdB noise margin to ICAO Chapter 4. The A380 comprises 25% composites and advanced alloys which provides a
Delivering the lowest lifetime fuel burn and excellent environmental attributes, it’s easy to see why the Trent 900 is the engine of choice for the Airbus A380.
The weight of the external paint of the A380 (topcoat plus primer) is 531 kg. The 280,000 lb of take-off thrust across the wing is the horsepower equivalent of around 2,500 family cars (at 110 hp each). The engine's 116 inch (2,95 m) diameter fan blades suck in over one and a quarter tons of air every second.
Engine Alliance and Rolls-Royce continue to use technology insertions to improve the efficiency and durability of their respective A380-specific engine. Chris Kjelgaard looks at the detail.
The Airbus A380 is powered by four high-performance engines, either the Rolls-Royce Trent 900 or the Engine Alliance GP7200. These engines are designed to deliver significant thrust while maintaining fuel efficiency and reducing noise levels.
