There is a lot of talk on this thread about which airlines have the Trent 900 fitted.
I recall that R/R had a major blow up of a test engine for the Boeing 787 recently.
Is the 787 using Trents? because if it is this could lead to a problem for an ETOPs a/c
A question I asked earlier was could anyone comment on the similarities between the A380 Trent 900, the Trent 1000 in the 787 and the Trent in the Qantas 747 incident a few months back? Apart from the fact that they're all RR Trents and two occured on Qantas aircraft....

Materials? Design? Maintenance?

Anyone?
