Rolls-Royce may replace 40 Airbus A380 engines

Accounts numbers for nearly half of the Trent 900 engines powerup command operated by Qantas, Singapore Airlines and Lufthansa German, and follows an extensive checks after November 4 for the Indonesia explosion.

"Rollers may have to look at alternative up to 40 engines throughout the A380 fleet" Qantas spokesperson told AFP.

"Which includes the fleet and Singapore Lufthansa.De fleet obviously Qantas has 40 engines to replace, we have six aircraft with four engines each,", she added.

Qantas Chief Alan Joyce said that up to 14 A380 company engines could potentially need to be replaced, leaving unclear when its fleet command will resume the flying their routes in Los Angeles and London.

Rolls-Royce was already change engines to prevent oil leaks, but none of the turbines of Qantas has been updated, said Mr. Joyce.

National carrier the Australia anchored all six of his command after the explosion, which requires an emergency landing Singapour.Qantas said earlier that it will take at least three new engines after security checks found oil leaks.

Singapore Airlines was founded on three of its 11 A380 and Lufthansa develops an engine on one of its three superjumbos precaution, while other A380 operators use turbines made by different manufacturers.

"Rolls-Royce employ around the criteria for which engines must be changed," Joyce said to journalists.

"We hope to understand precisely the engines must be replaced and closes so that we can have a timetable for when they will be back in the air, but we are still a few days far as", he added.

Rolls-Royce was not immediately available to respond to the most recent comments.

Rolls-Royce has pinpointed a "specific" component in the Trent 900 as the cause of a fire oil behind the explosion of the 4 novembre.Chaque A380 is powered by four engines.

The Qantas spokesperson said that she could not give a "definitive" answer on when his second Airbus return to heaven, refusing to confirm a report which said that he could stay out of action until at least at the beginning of December.

A permutation of the new-for-old engine program was one of the options examined with Rolls-Royce to speed the resumption of service for the A380, she added.

A380 double-decker, which carries 525 passengers and weighs 560 tons on take-off was hailed as the future of aviation distances to its commercial launch in 2007.

Boeing Dreamliner rival manufacturer is about three years behind after a series of parasites, including a fire on Board last week who was forced to cancel test flights.

Rolls-Royce to resume the Airbus production line engines

Airbus confirmed that Rolls shipped some engines Airbus facilities in Toulouse in a process of replacing a faulty part in the Trent 900 engine used by Lufthansa, Qantas, Singapore Airlines.

Rollers has refused to comment on whether it incur a financial penalty being but Airbus would send 20 rather 22 A380 this année.Fournissant existing customers is a priority of rollers.

Airbus said last week that Rolls-Royce engine failure may delay some deliveries to customers of the airline in 2011.The aircraft manufacturer has had difficulties in obtaining the A380 up to full production rate due to cost overruns and not expected to break even on the aircraft until 2015.

Rolls-Royce has declined to say what kind of component were wrong on the Sydney Qantas flight, but the defective part has caused an oil leak which then leads to the "liberation" disk turbine, causing the part .the explosion is supposed to be deeply in the turbine, and in some cases the manufacturer will replace engine together rather than single component.

There are 20 order service with Rolls-Royce engines, and each plane has four moteurs.Qantas failed six of its command since the explosion of the engine on 4 November and Lufthansa and Singapore have two rendering engine changes.

Emirates and Air France also fly them the A380, but with an engine made by GE and Pratt & Whitney of the United States.

Dragged rolls 4? to 592?p Tuesday afternoon .they shares fell 9 5pc since the engine failure.

Rolls said the cost of dealing with the replacement of engine meant growth income for the year would be "slightly lower" 5mC 4pc increase forecast in July.

Sales of engines to the marine and defence customers "mitigate" some of the costs, the company said.

Rolls-Royce faces fresh legal line on the engine for the Airbus A380

British Engineering giant continued claims Trent engine used in the widebody draws the Pratt & Whitney swept its U.S. rival in the A380 programme fan blade design.

The new adds to the problems of Rolls-Royce after more of £ billion was struck its value share in the wake of the incident Qantas A380 Thursday, when one of the four engines of a widebody seemed to blow up in case of success, airs.En counter - follows - Rolls-Royce already filed a lawsuit against Pratt and Whitney United States - could seriously damage the British company not only in the A380 programme but also the roll-out Boeing 787 series role.

Pratt & Whitney, in a trial before the High Court of London, submits the Trent 900 and Trent 1000 engines are based on her own wings fan blade. The complaint was also submitted to the Commission on international trade in Washington.

In may, Rolls-Royce filed a complaint against Pratt and Whitney, claiming his fan violates its own patents. Their patent spat back to close to a decade, but this is considered to be the first time, American society attempted to submit a claim by the British courts.

Competition is intense, because both Rolls-Royce and Pratt & Whitney engine providers only superjumbo.Rolls-Royce has refused to comment on the company British procès.La this week comes under pressure to explain whether the explosion of one of its engines on a flight from Qantas, last week was off or caused by a defect in wider design. ""Uncertainty is the problem for the investors at the moment," said one shareholder of Rolls-Royce.

Shares of rollers lost almost 10pc in two days, cut the value of manufacturer listed FTSE 100 Wednesday night engine 5.3 £ 12 to about £ structured when the market closed on Friday.Shareholders seeking clarity in advance of an update on the third quarter of the Rolls-Royce Friday.

Rolls-Royce has refused to comment on the incident, beyond to ask all the A380 for its Trent 900 engine operators carry out a series of audits.

"We will continue to work closely with our customers, as the investigation progresses .c ' is at a very early stage and it would be inappropriate conclusions at this time", notoriously taciturn roles, said last week.

Up to 20 A380, operated by Qantas, Singapore Airlines and Lufthansa use Trent 900 engine rolls, with four engines by avion.Les other 17 A380 into service are owned by Emirates and Air France and use engine built by GE-Pratt & Whitney of the United States.

Airbus has 196 another command on order and analysts fear that if Trent 900 is a design flaw, then some clients will switch to the GE-Pratt & Whitney engine instead of this.

Currently, total 234 A380 ordered and delivered, 122 have been ordered with the GE-Pratt & Whitney, engine 90 with roles option and 22 have yet to choose.

Alan Joyce, Chief Executive of Qantas, considers a design fault likely caused the eruption in flight: "It's probably very probably a hardware failure or a type design question."He said he hopes to have his fleet failed six command flying "within days.

Rolls Royce refused to respond to his remarks.

Airbus A380 engine woe wipes £ billion off the coast of Rolls-Royce

The shares of the company dropped another 30? 591 p Friday, after a drop of 33% Thursday, after Alan Joyce, Chief Executive of Qantas, said the company considers the engine failure "probably most likely a hardware failure or some sort of design issue.

Rollers, regarded as one of the most prestigious examples of British Engineering, has seen its value reduced to £ 12 24bn prior incident Thursday, £ 11. 06bn, when the FTSE 100 closed on Friday.

Rollers has asked all airlines for the Trent 900 on their command to perform a series of security checks. The company refused to comment on a possible design of M. Joyce fault and reiterated his statement Thursday that it would "continue to work closely with our customers that the investigation is moving forward."

There are 20 command with Rolls-Royce engines in service, operated by Qantas, Singapore Airlines and Lufthansa.Singapour began to steal its fleet again Friday, with the suspension of services Thursday to carry out checks.Lufthansa was the command between flights, Qantas may begin to fly the aircraft again Saturday, after saying that it would be ground the fleet up to 48 hours.

Emirates and Air France, two other Airlines flight of the A380, use engines manufactured by GE and Pratt & Whitney of the United States.

Command ordered by the airline customers 17 234, about 90 will Rolls-Royce engines, 122 chose the option of GE-Pratt and Whitney and 22 are indécis.British Airways and Virgin Atlantic as a result of early take delivery of the command in 2013 and 2015 respectively, said that they did not intend to modify their engine for the motorization of the roles that they have specified commands.

Command has four engines and EADS, the owner of Airbus said the plane is "certified to carry out its mission with only three engines".EADS share rose slightly Friday in Paris after cents 77 decline Thursday.

The France investigators and the Australia is seeking in the failure of engine, which was held shortly in a flight from Singapore, Sydney, forcing the A380 to go back and do an unscheduled landing in Singapore.

It appeared that the European Agency warned air safety in the month of August that airlines should make checks and repairs on the Trent 900 engines after having found "wear beyond limits engine manual".

In another blow to Rolls-Royce, a Qantas Boeing 747 powered by type company powertrains was also forced to return to Singapore due to an outage of engine Friday.

Separately, EADS said Friday seven Governments buy late and over budget A400M military transport aircraft reached a final agreement on the financing keep course projet.Le contract should be signed at the end of the year.

Said EADS additional payments by the seven Governments, which includes the United Kingdom, the Germany France, will be paid no later than that expected due to difficulties in some countries, budget however EADS not expected to take other losses on the A400M.

Rolls-Royce slides that Airbus tells the airlines for the command check with Rolls-Royce engines

"After the failure of engine flying Qantas A380 QF32 on November 4, 2010, Airbus issued a telex operators all requesting operators the A380 with Rolls-Royce engines for the inspection of the power to ensure ongoing security operations, fleet" Airbus said in a statement Friday.

Rolls Royce, which fell 5MC yesterday after the incident, shares slipped another p 3 6pc to 599 stock early Friday.

Part of the Trent 900 roller engine decays would have been in the air, on the Indonesia, forcing the flight to Sydney to an unscheduled landing Singapore.

Said rolls it "prudent to recommend that a number of basic motor precautionary checks is carried out" on the Trent 900, which is used to power command driven by Lufthansa, Qantas, Singapore Airlines.

Qantas grounded its fleet of six order pending security checks will take 24-48 heures.Singapore Airlines said delay all the A380 flights while checks are performed.Lufthansa has said that it will make inspections between flights.

Specialists of the Airbus team arrived at Singapore.He said that it will provide technical assistance to a French team of inspectors to the Australian authorities conducting the investigation.

Airbus, a subsidiary of EADS, said airlines, powered by Engine Alliance, made by GE and Pratt & Whitney flight control aren't affectées.Air France and Emirates use Pratt & Whitney engine in their command.

Motor rollers have systems that monitor performance and information will be used in the investigation into what went wrong, the company said.

Motor coils have been under the spotlight recently, with Airbus great rival Boeing, delaying the delivery of its 787 Dreamliner, accusing a delay in the availability of Trent 1000 rouleaux.Plus early in the summer, a Trent 1000 engine jump on roller test site of Derby.
