Hi,
The article reported that the Trent 900 is designed to deliver between 70,000 and 80,000 pounds of thrust. While the engines on all three of the three airlines that use it are physically identical, the control computers on LH and SQ are set at 70,000 pounds, while QF’s are set at 72,000 pounds, This is due the average length of QF A380 flights being longer requiring more fuel and more thrust at TO. This difference might be a contributing factor, but the difference in thrust alone wouldn't explain the engine failure.
This difference might be a contributing factor ????
Designed .. so certified ! (EASA certification in 2004)
on LH and SQ are set at 70,000 pounds, while QF’s are set at 72,000 pounds
So QF use the engine as certified .. no probs ... for QF
