Seletar Assembly and Test Unit

This is the most modern Rolls-Royce assembly and test facility for large commercial Trent aero engines and also the Group’s first in Asia.

The state-of-the-art facility has been specifically designed to allow simultaneous assembly and testing of Rolls-Royce Trent aero engines under one roof. Initially, Trent 900 engines for the Airbus A380 and Trent 1000 engines for the Boeing 787 Dreamliner will be built here.

A sister site to the existing Rolls-Royce production and test facility in Derby, UK, the Seletar Assembly & Test Unit creates additional capacity that will enable Rolls-Royce to meet global customer demand and increase proximity to our growing customer base in the region.

An equal production standard between our UK and Singapore facilities is an important part of Civil Aviation Authority approval. Both sites utilise the same uniform processes to produce large commercial Trent aero engines to the same high standards of excellence demanded by our customers.

• The facility’s capabilities include module build, complete engine assembly and testing.
• It is designed to produce 250 large engines a year at full capacity.
• The production test bed can accommodate an engine with a fan size of up to 140 inches and 150,000lbs of thrust, providing greater flexibility for the future.
