The Rolls-Royce Trent 500 is a high-bypass turbofan produced by Rolls-Royce to power the larger A340-500/600 variants. It was selected in June 1997,[1] first ran in May 1999,[2] first flew in June 2000, and achieved certification on 15 December 2000.[3] It entered service in July 2002 and 524 engines were delivered on-wing until the A340 production ended in 2012.

Keeping the three spool architecture of the Trent family, it has the Trent 700's 2.47 m (97.5 in) fan and a Trent 800 core scaled down.[4] It produces up to 275 kN (62,000 lbf) of thrust at take-off and has a bypass ratio up to 8.5:1 in cruise.[5]
