More than 1,400 Trent 700 engines are now in service or on firm order. In the
past three years the engine has captured more than 75% of orders for
the A330.
The Trent 700 is the only engine specifically designed for the Airbus A330 and
is the most fuel-efficient, cleanest and quietest engine for the aircraft, Rolls-Royce claims. It now incorporates technology from later generation Trent engines, which has further improved its fuel-efficiency by 1%.
