The first Rolls-Royce Trent 7000 production engine has been dispatched to the Airbus facility in Toulouse, in readiness to power Airbus’s latest aircraft, the A330neo, into service.
TAP Portugal, the A330neo launch operator, is currently displaying the first aircraft at Farnborough International Airshow.
Formal certification of the engine will also follow imminently, making the Trent 7000 the fourth Rolls-Royce engine to receive formal certification in just 12 months, following in the footsteps of the Trent 1000 TEN, Trent XWB-97, and Pearl 15.
The Trent 7000, the latest member of the Rolls-Royce Trent engine family, is the exclusive powerplant for the A330neo which enters service later this year.
