The main idea behind this video is the
Maturity. All testing
campaign and Pre-production under going by R-R to assure a mature Entry Into
Service.
July/2012:
Pre-production begins
The world´s
first dedicated aero engine pre-production facility. To make sure all procedures and processes are in place and before
launching the manufacturing, the engine is mature.
Pre-production
includes 1 training engine and 15 flight compliance engines.
“The maturity is looking good as the
program as well.” Chris Young Programme Director Trent XWB
“By the time we get to the EIS, I
think we will have a lot of experience behind us” said Alistair McIntosh Chief Engineer “The
integration activity is been a tremendous success of Airbus, Goodrich, Rolls
Royce and suppliers.”
“We have two engines that are been
building; the first engine is the
training engine that will be used to prove all processes and the second engine
is the first engine that is going in the first compliance aircraft “ said Colin Burke Value Stream
Manager
