Rolls-Royce says its Trent XWB engine—which powers the Airbus A350-900 and -1000, as the XWB-84 and XWB 97, respectively—is now well into production with the 500th-engine mark passed last month. Around 45 operators and four lessors have received A350 XWB aircraft since service entry in January 2015, said Tim Boddy, head of Trent XWB marketing.
