Trent 1000

Download the latest (October 2009) edition of the Trent 1000 newsletter that introduces programme director Simon Carlisle, focuses on the completion of Trent 1000 ETOPS engine testing and delivering our commitment to fuel leadership.

Preparations are underway for first flight of the Trent 1000 powered Boeing 787 Dreamliner™.  First flight will mark the debut of the quietest, cleanest and most fuel efficient airframe and engine partnership flying today.

The Trent 1000 has been tailored for the Boeing 787 Dreamliner™. Built on the success of the Trent family, the Trent 1000 offers airline operators a unique combination.

• Trent family experience
• Advanced technology
• Smart design

Boeing selected the Trent 1000 in 2004 as launch engine for all variants of the Boeing 787 Dreamliner™. The first test bed run of the Trent 1000 took place in 2006, followed by certification, delivered as promised, on 7 August 2008 or 7/8/7. First on-wing ground testing took place in May 2009 as part of the gauntlet test programme ahead of the first flight.

The Trent 1000 will undertake the lion's share of flight testing on board the first four aircraft in the Boeing flight test programme. The Boeing 787 Dreamliner™ is planned for operational service in 2010.
