Trent 1000 TEN Woes Force SIA To Ground Two 787-10s
Rolls-Royce suffers another Trent 1000 setback.

Singapore Airlines has found premature blade deterioration on some Rolls-Royce Trent TEN turbofans powering its Boeing 787-10s, forcing the carrier to ground two of the biggest Dreamliners. The airline said it found the problem during routine inspections and has “proactively identified” other Trent 1000 TEN engines in the group’s 787 fleet to undergo precautionary inspections. It has completed all inspections on the mainline’s 787-10 fleet and plans to finish a remaining check on a 787-9 flown by low-cost subsidiary Scoot by tomorrow.
