Rolls-Royce Trent 1000-TEN Gets EASA Nod
Rolls-Royce also to collaborate with Microsoft on Big Data Analytics for Singapore Airlines.

Rolls-Royce announced here yesterday that it had received certification approval for the Trent 1000-TEN engine that powers the Boeing 787. The engine is an advanced version of the powerplant that the 787 has used since entry into service in 2011.

The engine draws on technology from the Trent XWB for the Airbus A350 and the UK engine maker’s Advance engine program. Tests of the Trent 1000-TEN on R-R’s flying testbed aircraft, a Boeing 747, in Tucson, Arizona started in March. Tests with the engine fitted to a 787 will start later this year.
