Rolls-Royce CEO Revealed Boeing 787’s Trent 1000 Engine Upgrades Will Change The Industry!
Facing the serious fallout from the Trent 1000 engines that have been equipped for Dreamliner, Rolls-Royce has unveiled a bold and urgent strategy to rectify its missteps and finish the widespread damage caused by these critical failures. Not only that, the CEO has issued a pledge to reclaim lost customers and restore the company’s damaged reputation.
But what exactly does this strategy? Can Rolls-Royce undo the damage and deliver on its promise to regain trust? Let’s dive into the details!
Situation
Rolls-Royce CEO Revealed Boeing 787’s Trent 1000 Engine Upgrades Will Change The Industry!
As you know, normally, airlines can select one of the two engine manufacturers and collaborate exclusively with that company for their entire 7 8 7 fleet. This approach not only simplifies the decision-making process but also optimizes maintenance and logistics operations, ultimately reducing both costs and complexity in overall operations. For instance, all Dreamliner fleets of United Airlines are equipped with GE engines, while Singapore Airlines has opted for Rolls-Royce engines for its Dreamliners.
However, recently, many major airlines have switched from Rolls-Royce engines to GE, and the US engine manufacturer proudly states its GEnx engine family is now powering about two-thirds of the more than 1,116 7 8 7 in operation. It seems that GEnx is becoming the more popular choice.
What’s happened?

The main reason is the serious issues that the Trent 1000 encountered between 20 17 and 20 20. Durability problems led to many 7 8 7 being grounded for extended periods, restricting operational capacity and even forcing some airlines to wet lease aircraft to maintain their schedules. This left many airlines dissatisfied with the UK manufacturer, especially when compared to the GEnx of the US engine manufacturer, which did not face similar issues during the same period. While the GEnx has also faced some airworthiness directives, it has not encountered any serious issues like those caused by the Trent 1000.

Rolls Royce will never Match GE realiability ever
The Rolls-Royce Trent 1000 engine, one of the two engine options for the Boeing 787 Dreamliner, is in the same family as the Trent 7000, which powers the Airbus A330neo, the Trent XWB, which powers the Airbus A350 XWB, and the Trent 900, one of the two engine options for the Airbus A380.
Sadly, the damage has been done.
Ten years is sufficient time to correct your engine reliability issues..
Your reputation is tarnished !!!
It may take years for customers to restore faith in the T1000 program.
Flig Avia seems to have a tendency towards exaggeration and clickbait titles. On each improvement, major or minor, their titles proclaim that this will "change the industry" or "destroy the aviation industry" or the like. Trent engines exist since decades. They are characterized by (among other things) a three-shaft structure. Yes they are excellent engines. Yes they received major improvements (like variable-pitch fan blades, fan gearbox (a Pratt and Whitney initiative), controlled-temperature combusters and many others) but saying at each innovation that it will change (or destroy) the whole industry is a bit exaggerated…
Almost like main sponsor on this was GE 😮
RR seem to have lost their way over the last few years, what with the issues with the Trent engines and foolishly pulling out of their collaboration for single aisle engines resulting in a significant loss of maintenance income.
Hopefully they will get their act together so that we can see the Ultrafan Project deliver at least as expected.
One thing about the fixes to the Trent, is that it isn't just a fix for its problems, but goes beyond that to deliver real improvements to the engines, even available for existing engines.
For all those who seem to think that their manufacturer is so much better than the rest, they should heed the old saying about throwing stones in glasshouses!
Some of the 777x earlier delays were due to issues with the new GE engines (not the current fatigue issues with its attachment – where I haven't seen the outcome of any investigation into whether the Boeing designed components are not strong enough, or the engines are putting more strain on them than was anticipated or specified.
As for the issues with the Trent, quantity and length of grounding, it must be P&W who hold the record by some margin when you look at their issues with the GTF.
All the major manufacturers have their issues, some just get reported with greater prominence
That kind so very nice as historical AIRBUS and BOEING order if it is Garuda Indonesia multiple have it just like AIRBUS A350, BOEING 777 and 787 just like AIR INDIA historical AIRBUS and BOEING order about Rolls-Royce Trent 1000 for 787.
Trent engine problems have been going on for years. We seem to hear about new problems every year. I find it hard to actually figure out what the current issues are and when they will be resolved. The latest problems appear to involve supply chain difficulties. The fact is Emirates will not buy the A350 1000 due to a lack of durability (inadequate time between overhauls) for the XWB94 engine.
It's a bit late reaction by RR to respond to the major problem on trent 1000 .but late response better than ignoring the issue . I am sure they will overcome the issue soon
