The Rolls-Royce Trent 900 engine today powers the Airbus A380's first flight to the UK, when the aircraft visits London Heathrow Airport.
As launch engine for the programme, the Trent 900 is the only powerplant so far to have taken part in flight testing, which currently involves four A380s. Singapore Airlines will be the first customer to operate the aircraft, powered by the Trent 900, with initial deliveries starting later this year.
