The introduction of the Trent 1000 XE follows the successful certification of a package of improvements including a new High Pressure Turbine (HPT) blade that has been engineered for longer life. With a comprehensive blade and cooling system redesign that delivers a 40% increase in cooling flow, we are significantly reducing the temperature of the blade and dramatically increasing the engines time on wing.
With the incorporation of this new HPT blade package and subsequent hot-section enhancements already in development and available in 2026, our current and future Trent 1000 XE customers can expect a time on wing three times that of the Trent 1000 TEN they have been operating to date.
The Trent 1000 XE is now our current new production standard engine powering all future deliveries of the Boeing 787 Dreamliner and we are already in the process of upgrading all our Trent 1000 TEN customers to this latest standard of engine, transforming their experience of operating their 787s.
