Singapore 787-10 Rolls Royce Engine Problems
It would seem that Rolls Royce 787-10 Engines are suffering from a similar Problem to the Smaller 787"s

Mainly Miles Website From the Linked PPage.there info text is in RED The list at 12pm Singapore Time on 2nd April 2019, according to FlightRadar24, now includes:
Seven of the 13 Singapore Airlines departures from Changi that were supposed to operate on the Boeing 787-10 today have been changed to either the Airbus A330 or Boeing 777-200.

Singapore Airlines has grounded over half its Boeing 787-10 fleet Its starting to get a bit ridiculous with all the early failures and groundings of aircraft due to them being pushed into service too early and with insufficient testing, all in the name of profits... At this rate airlines are going to need to keep a 25% buffer of "spare" aircraft, preferably from a different manufacturer, as an insurance policy, to deal with all the failures. |

Or have punitive availability guarantees sufficient to counter the rush to release new models?

^^ exactly! Why anyone would order RR engines is beyond me..... |
GEnx has problems too

That was a fuel contamination issue...nothing to do with the engines apart from them not running on crap fuel. |
According to the local media, they have grounded 2 aircraft. Others are in for inspection.
I first read this on the children's channel (you know, the one with 'airliners' in its name) yesterday morning and ran through an exercise similar to Mark's above (post #3). I too came up with similar dates/flights for the aircraft but, checking again last night and this morning, found the sky is not falling in. A good example is SQ622, shown in Mark's list as being subbed with an A330. It is at this moment airborne and is being flown by 9V-SCF. Another example listed above is SQ672. This was flown last night by 9V-SCB, which is now flying the return leg as SQ671. 9V-SCC flew SQ876 to Taipei this morning. |

Presumably fueled up in Cairns.
The aircraft was fuelled in New Zealand before it was flown to Cairns to pick up passengers for the onward journey to Osaka on Friday. A fuel sample has been sent for testing at a laboratory in Japan to determine whether it was contaminated. It is likely to be the end of the week before the results are completed. However, it has been suggested that inspectors are already starting to discount fuel contamination as a cause of the mid-air incident. |
<Yawn>
All new generation engines have teething problems, this has been historically true since they were invented. RR is no worse than GE or P&W, life goes on........ |
Singapore Airlines has grounded a pair of Boeing 787-10s owing to premature deterioration of the high pressure turbine (HPT) blades in their Rolls-Royce Trent 1000 TEN engines. |
The flightglobal article seems not to be accurate. It states that 9V-SCF was one of the affected aircraft. Yet it flew the Osaka service yesterday.
Similarly, the other aircraft mentioned in the report, 9V-SCB is currently flying the Nagoya service. It does seem that SCD may be affected as it has not flown since 30th March and SCE has not flown since 31st March. |

So what experience have you got of ordering such engines I wonder. Please do tell.
don't reckon one would need much, seeing as how there seem to be endemic problems with their products as of late... |
