Product details

The Trent 700 is the first engine in the highly successful Trent family. It has established itself as the engine of choice on the A330 with a 53% market share.

Since Cathay Pacific launched it in March 1995 the Trent 700 has logged over 8.4 million hours (2.2 million cycles) in service and accumulates over 100,000 service hours every month.

The Trent 700 delivers the power requirements for all weights of the A330 and in particular, for the higher weight aircraft operating in harsh environments. This has been demonstrated by over a third of all operational experience being in the Middle East. With the highest in-service thrust of 72,000 lb, the Trent 700 provides the best take-off performance and revenue-earning potential for operators of the A330. The engine was designed for growth capability of the A330 and incorporates materials capable pressures and temperatures for 75,000lb.

The unique three-shaft design of the RB211 Trent family means that it has fewer stages than competitor engines, giving lower maintenance costs, lower weight and better performance retention. The Trent 700 was the first in service engine to feature the 2nd generation wide chord fan blade. This blade is diffusion bonded and super-plastically formed, giving better protection from foreign object damage and also contributes to lower maintenance costs and lower noise.

Trent 700 fuel efficiency was improved with the introduction of the Trent 772B rating and through continuous improvement is further enhancing the engines fuel efficiency by introducing a series of modification inspired by the later members of the Trent engine family. Combined with superior performance retention the engine achieves the lowest life cycle fuel burn on the A330. This reduces operating costs.

With the lowest lifecycle fuel burn, the lowest cumulative emissions and the lowest noise levels the Trent 700 has the lowest environmental impact of any engine on the A330.
