Rolls-Royce Applies A330neo Engine Tech to Fix Boeing 787's Trent 1000 Issues
In an ironic twist of fate, the Boeing 787 Dreamliner foiled the market debut of the Airbus A330neo, yet in 2022, new turbine parts made for the European widebody finally resolved long-running engine trouble in the 787. The American-made next-gen jetliner caught Airbus off guard when it officially launched in 2004. But the engines on the facelifted Airbus have proven to be more reliable over the years. The Rolls-Royce Trent 7000 engines on the A330neo have logged over 1 million continuous engine flying hours with zero in-flight disruptions and nearly 100% dispatch reliability.
