Rolls-Royce has delivered the first Trent 900 aero engine produced in Singapore to an undisclosed customer in the region.
The 154,000 sq. m. Rolls-Royce Seletar Campus, which was opened in February, is the largest aerospace facility in Singapore. It includes a Trent aero engine assembly and test unit designed to allow simultaneous assembly and testing, a wide chord fan blade (WCFB) manufacturing facility, the group’s first outside the UK to manufacture hollow titanium WCFBs, an advanced technology center, and a regional training center.
Initially, Trent 900 and Trent 1000 aero engines will be built at the facility. At full capacity, it will be able to produce 250 engines and more than 6,000 blades a year.
Rolls-Royce Seletar Campus director Paul O’Neil said: “The delivery of the first Trent aero engine produced in Singapore is a significant milestone for us. It represents a huge collaborative effort with colleagues in the UK supporting our team here to ensure that the engine, produced to our exacting standards, was delivered on time.”
