Cargil48 Posted December 17, 2019 Report Posted December 17, 2019 " "Rolls-Royce has discovered costly technical problems with a set of its engines, just weeks after it found a separate durability issue. The engine maker said the fault affected a “small number” of its Package B Trent 1000 engines, adding to problems with its Package C Trent 1000 engines, revealed in March." https://www.independent.co.uk/news/business/news/rolls-royce-jet-engine-problems-fault-plane-trent-1000-a8393006.html
GeeBee Posted December 17, 2019 Report Posted December 17, 2019 It seems that all the manufacturers have had trouble with their 100k thrust class engines. I think everyone has got a little ahead of their ski's on the class as a whole.
jetdriven Posted December 17, 2019 Report Posted December 17, 2019 The GE LEAP and Pratt Geared turbofan are also problematic. All of them had to come off the wing for major rework.
Hank Posted December 18, 2019 Report Posted December 18, 2019 See? Just goes to show, they should have followed through with the turbine Mooney! Woulda helped both companies . . . . 1
carusoam Posted December 18, 2019 Report Posted December 18, 2019 Where is 450shp on the scale of 100k thrust? Go turbine Mooney! -a-
