When at Lufthansa Technik in Dubai today I saw three Trent 900’s there. LHT is dismantling accesorry parts before they go to R-R for changing the HPT-blades affected by wear. The (German) head of this MRO-station said that Rolls will not do a blade redesign for the Trent 900. He said it is cheaper to refurbish them after 10.000 flight hours again (case Lufthansa) than for Rolls to do a redesign. I will check this with Rolls, as in their update reports the redesign has been frequently mentioned.
They didn’t tell to which airline the engines belong. Not Emirates, he said

Not Emirates, he said We could see a reason why Emirates cancelled the A380 so abruptly. First they did not get their neo engines and than perhaps not their promised pip. Ergo Jim Clark ranting the whole year about engine producers not being up to scratch. |
