Simon Burr, Rolls-Royce’s group director of engineering, acknowledges that recent fuel-burn improvements across the industry have compromised durability. The company now seeks to correct this imbalance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rolls-Royce will incorporate technologies from its UltraFan demonstrator into production engines to achieve significant durability improvements, FlightGlobal <\/em>Reported.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Burr highlights the 97,000lb-thrust Trent XWB-97’s high dispatch reliability but notes its insufficient durability in hot and sandy environments. The company focuses on addressing this specific issue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
