Rolls-Royce To Power Etihad Fleet Expansion

tThe title of this post, is the same as that of this press release from Rolls-Royce.

These two paragraphs form the heart of the announcement.

Rolls-Royce (LSE: RR., ADR: RYCEY) welcomes announcement by Etihad Airways that it will expand its widebody fleet with aircraft powered by Trent 7000 and Trent XWB-97 engines.

At this week’s Dubai Airshow, the Middle Eastern carrier announced its intention to select 15 Airbus A330 Neo powered by the Trent 7000; seven Airbus A350-1000 powered by the Trent XWB-97; and 10 Airbus A350F freighter variants also powered by the Trent XWB-97.

Note.

32 twin-engined aircraft will need more than 64 engines, if you include spares.
A 2014 list price of $37.9 million per Trent 7000 engine is a reference point.
The contract would probably include a number of years of ongoing maintenance.

That is certainly what you could call a multi-billion dollar contract.

About This Blog

What this blog will eventually be about I do not know.

But it will be about how I’m coping with the loss of my wife and son to cancer in recent years and how I manage with being a coeliac and recovering from a stroke. It will be about travel, sport, engineering, food, art, computers, large projects and London, that are some of the passions that fill my life.

And hopefully, it will get rid of the lonely times, from which I still suffer.

Why Anonymous? That’s how you feel at times.
