Rolls-Royce back in the narrowbody engine development business

14-Oct-2011 10:17 AM

Rolls-Royce and Pratt & Whitney have signed an agreement to develop next generation engines to power future mid-size aircraft in the 120–230 seat range, putting Rolls-Royce back into the picture for narrowbody engines. Rolls is an important partner in International Aero Engines (IAE), the four member venture which produces the V2500 engine for the A320, but it has not developed a new engine for the next generation of regional jets and narrowbodies, which are due to come into service over the next six years.

The aim of the joint venture (JV) is to develop new engines for the next generation of aircraft that will replace the existing ‘mid-size’ fleet. The 20-year forecast for this segment is a worldwide demand of around 20,000 new aircraft, with a requirement for nearly 45,000 engines.

Australian authorities recommend more inspections for the A380 Rolls-Royce Trent 900s

3-Dec-2010 2:09 PM

Australia’s Transport Safety Bureau (ATSB) and Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA) have released their safety recommendations and the results of the preliminary investigation relating to the failure of a Rolls-Royce Trent 900 engine on a Qantas A380 last month. The report by the ATSB identifies an overspeed-related failure in the intermediate pressure turbine disc in the engine, and identifies a potential manufacturing defect with an oil tube connection to the high-pressure (HP)/intermediate-pressure (IP) bearing structure of the Trent 900 engine. Qantas has gained an injunction against Rolls-Royce in the Australian Federal Court and now pushes its claims for compensation, with the background threat of further litigation if agreement on terms is not possible.
