for airlinersfor general aviation

Overview
The Rolls-Royce Trent XWB is a high-bypass turbofan engine designed and optimized for the Airbus A350 family. It is marketed as the most efficient large aero-engine in service, delivering reduced fuel burn and CO2 emissions compared with previous-generation widebody engines.

Key messages
The Trent XWB family comprises variants tailored to different thrust and mission requirements, including the Trent XWB-84 and Trent XWB-97. Highlights include higher-thrust options, reported high dispatch reliability and extended time-on-wing targets that support lower operating costs.

Trent XWB-84

• Optimized for the A350-900.
• Selected by a majority of the world’s most profitable airlines.
• Marketed for lowest fuel consumption among current widebody engines.
• Designed for high utilisation and revenue-generating operations.

Trent XWB-97

• Highest-thrust variant in the Trent XWB family, developed for the A350-1000.
• Reported dispatch reliability up to 99.9% for high-thrust configurations.
• Deployed across passenger and freighter applications.

Performance & operational benefits

• Lower fuel burn and CO2 emissions versus previous-generation widebody engines (manufacturer-cited figures).
• Reported multi-million dollar annual fuel savings per aircraft in typical operator scenarios.
• Extended time-on-wing targets and reduced removal frequency compared with prior-generation engines.
