Customers who operate a combination of different models of the 787 group will be able to use the Trent 1000-TEN engine across their fleets, only needing to select the thrust rating required for each aircraft.

Eric Schulz, President of Large Engines Programmes said: "The Trent 1000-TEN will incorporate the most advanced turbofan technology available in the world; derived from our latest Trent engine, the Trent XWB, and other advanced propulsion programmes, to produce the ideal engine for the entire Boeing 787 Dreamliner family.

"This will deliver unsurpassed through-life fuel efficiency, coupled with the same Trent engine family dependability that our customers have come to expect."

The Trent 1000 is the quietest and most efficient engine option for the 787 Dreamliner. It has been selected in eight of the last nine 787 Dreamliner engine decisions and now has a total of 24 customers.
