Rolls-Royce has embarked on a continuous improvement program (CIP) for the Trent 1000, launch engine for the 787, even as it completes assembly of the first engine due for delivery on the initial aircraft for All Nippon Airways.
Several distinctive external features of the 787 were clearly visible for the first time at rollout, including a protruding keel beam, larger air scoops, smaller flight control and flap surface actuators, as well as the smooth butt joints between the adjacent one-piece composite fuselage barrel sections.
Pratt & Whitney says it may react to increasing interest from airlines in the potential fuel-saving benefits of its geared turbofan (GTF) by accelerating the pace of the engine’s development, despite lack of a launch customer.
