The Rolls-Royce Engine That Forced a Redesign

The Airbus A380 superjumbo is the world's only full double-deck commercial jet and has a maximum takeoff weight or MTOW far exceeding any other aircraft in existence. It is optionally powered by four Rolls-Royce Trent 900 engines or four Engine Alliance GP7200 engines (built by a joint venture between GE Aerospace and Pratt & Whitney). So in this video, we take a look at the Rolls-Royce Trent 900, why it became one of the most powerful commercial jet engines ever produced, how it helped shape the Airbus A380, and how Rolls-Royce is now working on an even more ambitious engine family that could transform both widebody and narrowbody aviation in the decades ahead.
