Duct redesign improves engine efficiency

• We helped Rolls-Royce to achieve a fuel burn saving of 0.25% in the Trent XWB engine.
• This equates to an annual CO₂ reduction of approximately 71 million kg across the current fleet of 379 Airbus A350.
• This fuel efficiency represents cost savings of approximately £15 million a year.

Revolutionising engine design

• Our new computational design methodologies have drastically reduced the development time and costs of the design process.
• We have provided new, knowledge-based and patented solutions for three engine types - the Trent XWB, the Advance3 and the UltraFan.
• These were validated on our unique test facility, reducing the need for costly full-scale engine testing.
