Rolls-Royce rapidly accelerated its rise to the number
two slot in the commercial engine world by clinching
the launch order for the Boeing 7E7 from All Nippon

successful periods in recent years by achieving on-

R-R's latest civil engine, the Trent 1000,
was chosen along with General Electric's
GENX to power the Boeing 7E7, a relief for
the company, which had to wait a long time
to power the 7E7's predecessor, the 767.

at up to 75,0001b thrust (334kN).
Rolls-Royce is also evaluating fol

updated Trent 700 versions.
