High Technology, Great Benefits

The Trent 900 is the fourth member of the Trent family and includes the latest proven technology. For example;

• The engine’s 24 fan blades are to a new swept design that reduces the effect of shock waves, as the tip of the fan rotates supersonically, making it lighter, quieter and more efficient.
• The fan containment system is also the first to be manufactured from Titanium and does not need the additional Kevlar wrap, making it a lighter and smaller system
• At the core of the engine, the high-pressure shaft rotates in the opposite direction to the other two shafts, meaning the engine can be made lighter and more fuel-efficient.
