The Rolls-Royce Trent XWB is a high-bypass turbofan produced by Rolls-Royce Holdings. In July 2006, the Trent XWB was selected to exclusively power the Airbus A350.[2] The first engine was run on 14 June 2010,[3] it first flew on an A380 testbed on 18 February 2012,[4] was certified in early 2013,[5] and first flew on an A350 on 14 June 2013.[6] It had its first in-flight shutdown on 11 September 2018 as the fleet accumulated 2.2 million flight hours.[7] It keeps the characteristic three-shaft layout of the Rolls-Royce Trent, with a 3 m (120 in) fan, an IP and HP spool.[8] The 84,200–97,000 lbf (375–431 kN) engine has a 9.6:1 bypass ratio and a 50:1 pressure ratio.[9] It is the most powerful member of the Trent family.[10]
