Rolls-Royce Trent - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Rolls Royce Trent is a family of high-bypass turbofan engines manufactured by Rolls-Royce. The Trent 1000 is a bleedless design, with power take-off from the intermediate-pressure spool instead of the high-pressure spool found in other members of the Trent family, to fulfill the Boeing requirements of a "more-electric" engine. The Trent's broad spread of thrust ratings spans 56,000 to 107,000 lbf (249 to 476 kN) and may be increased to 110,000 lbf (489 kN). en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Rolls-Royce_Trent   (2401 words)

Rolls-Royce - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia He was introduced to Charles Stewart Rolls at the Midland Hotel in Manchester on May 4 of that year, and the pair agreed a to deal where Royce would manufacture cars, to be sold exclusively by Rolls. Nicknames for Rolls-Royce cars are "Rolls", "Roller" and "Double R", although in Derby, where the headquarters of Rolls-Royce plc is located, the firm is commonly known as "Royce's". Rolls-Royce plc, by far the most significant in economic terms, a British engineering firm specializing in turbine-based products, particularly aircraft engines, which has recently added marine propulsion and energy systems to its portfolio, providing a wide range of civil and military engineering products and services. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Rolls-Royce   (1659 words)

AERO-ENGINES - ROLLS-ROYCE TRENT- Jane's Civil Aerospace News The Trent 900 is being developed within Rolls-Royce to meet the Airbus programme using the Trent family philosophy and three-shaft concept as the basis. The engine ratings available are the Trent 758, flat-rated at 257.9 kN (58,000 lb st) for the A330-100, the Trent 768, flat-rated to 30ºC at 300.3 kN (67,500 lb st) and the Trent 772B flat-rated to 37ºC at 316.3 kN (71,100 lb st). The inherent growth capability of the Trent 800 was emphasised by the fact that during qualification of the Trent 892 the thrust was frequently well above 100,000 lb, with significant temperature margins still in hand. www.janes.com /aerospace/civil/news/jae/jae010213_2_n.shtml   (3621 words)

Rolls Royce Rolls Royce had realised that jet propulsion was the way forward and it also knew that Rover, who had the contract to mass produce the Power Jets W2B engine, had an acrimonious relationship with Frank Whittle. Rolls Royce took over production of the W2B/23 which was renamed as the Welland and which flew in the Gloster Meteor. Rolls Royce was founded in 1906 as a car producer but soon got into aeroengine production in 1915. www.aoxj32.dsl.pipex.com /NewFiles/RR.html   (863 words)

Rolls-Royce signs Trent 600 agreement with Boeing The Trent 600 is the fifth member of the Trent engine family to be announced by Rolls-Royce. Rolls-Royce has signed an agreement with Boeing to offer the proposed Trent 600 engine on developments of Boeing 747 and 767 aircraft. The Trent 700 entered service on the Airbus Industrie A330 in 1995 and has won almost 40 per cent of the market on the twinjet. defence-data.com /f2000/pagefa1076.htm   (284 words)

FLUG REVUE October 2005: Trent for A380 and 787 After all, the Trent 900 already possesses the QUICK system, which monitors performance data and vibration, and passes this information on to the operations centre in Derby in real-time, from where it is then forwarded to the customers. The distinctive feature of the latest member of the Trent family is the taking of power from the shaft of the intermediate pressure compressor to meet the aircraft's power requirements. The Trent 900 has met the specifications right out of the box.” MSN001's engines correspond to an early build standard, so one would normally expect its fuel consumption to be inferior to that of production machines. www.flug-revue.rotor.com /frheft/FRHeft05/FRH0510/FR0510e.htm   (1138 words)

Marubeni Specialty Chemicals Inc. Trent 900 is the latest type of the Trent series engines, expected to achieve the lowest fuel burn and low noise based on the Rolls-Royce's unique 3 shaft engine technology. By participating in the Trent 900 project, it will have participated in all of the Trent engine family, which in the recent years holds the biggest share in the medium to large civil aircraft engine market. Marubeni participated in the Trent 700 & 800 project in 1995, and the Trent 500 project in 1998, both in a similar RRSP scheme. www.msi-us.net /marketnewsstory.cfm?id=11   (518 words)

EASA European Aviation Safety Agency Press Centre Trent 900 Certification Development on the Trent 900 engine proceeded smoothly after Airbus's plans to develop a large passenger aircraft were first announced - the Trent 900 is part of a tried-and-tested family of Rolls-Royce engines, and so it shared research and development synergies with other Trent engines. The weight of the Trent 900 engine itself is roughly 6300 kg, with a length of 5.3 metres, a diameter of circa 3 metres and with all externals roughly four metres in diameter. While the procedures remain similar for all type certificates, certifying the Trent 900 represented a significant step forward for the EASA in terms of the size and complexity of the Trent 900 engine. www.easa.eu.int /home/wsnews_trent900.html   (913 words)

CHARLES CUDDINGTON, EVP FOR AIRLINES, ROLLS-ROYCE He pointed out that Rolls was the last engine to be certified on the 777, and has come from behind to become the market leader. For example, El Al recently selected the RR Trent 800 for its purchase of regular 777s in the full knowledge that if it buys the 777X later on, it can do so only with GE engines. Or they can stick with Rolls and buy Airbus, which means mixing their aircraft fleets. www.aviationnow.com /shownews/00sing3/newsmkr18.htm   (541 words)

First Flight for Rolls-Royce Trent 500 Engine The Trent 500 is the sole engine type for the new long-range versions of the Airbus Industrie A340 airliner due to enter service with Virgin Atlantic in 2002. The three-shaft design of the Trent family of engines uses scaled cores and compressors to create engines with thrusts ranging from 53,000lb to 95,000lb. We have worked in the simulator and on ground runs but it was really pleasing to see that the Trent responded just as we predicted in flight." Today's flight follows over 1,500 hours of ground testing involving a total of seven Trent 500 development engines. www.theautochannel.com /news/press/date/20000621/press018775.html   (610 words)
