But being outside of a new aircraft, I&#8217;ve never seen the demand.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>As for keeping up with demand, McDonald feels comfortable with the company\u2019s capacity for now. He acknowledged supply chain challenges have affected Rolls but not to the extent others have experienced. \u201cWe are not immune to that impact, [but]I don\u2019t think we\u2019re impacted as badly as some other people are,\u201d he explained.<\/p>\n<p>McDonald further noted OEMs use many common suppliers. &#8220;We fight every day to try to make sure it doesn&#8217;t have a big impact on our customers,\u201d he stressed. At the same time though, Rolls-Royce hasn\u2019t had to manage the volume of deliveries in the widebody space as others involved with narrowbodies. \u201cMaybe that helps us to some extent,\u201d he conceded.<\/p>\n<p>McDonald noted the rates boost announced by Airbus\u2014A330 rate will increase to four a month beginning next year and the A350 to 10 a month by 2026. The Rolls-Royce Trent 7000 powers the A330neo and the Trent XWB the A350.<\/p>\n<p>\u201c[However], we&#8217;re not even reaching pre-Covid levels of deliveries,&#8221; he said. &#8220;Some of the increases which you&#8217;ve seen in the narrowbody have been much greater.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Rolls-Royce has received substantial interest in its UltraFan technology demonstrator, which this month ran to maximum power on its testbed in Derby, UK, using 100 percent sustainable aviation fuel.<\/p>\n<p>Rolls-Royce looks to the advances in the UltraFan\u2014which it expects to bring a 10 percent efficiency improvement over the Trent XWB and a 25 percent gain over the launch of the first Trent\u2014as playing a key part in the sustainability equation for aircraft produced in the 2030s.<\/p>\n<p>Testing began earlier this year and gradually increased to full power. That milestone culminated years of research and collaboration through the UK government and the EU\u2019s Clean Sky programs. Unveiled in 2014, the UltraFan technology demonstrator is designed to test scalable technologies from 25,000 to 110,000 pounds thrust, covering both narrowbody and widebody aircraft. \u201cWe are making sure that we are prepared for whatever the next airframe is, be it narrowbody and or be it widebody,\u201d McDonald said. \u201cWe&#8217;re talking to all the at the moment. We feel that they are really excited by the milestone.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ainonline.com\/aviation-news\/air-transport\/2023-11-14\/airlines-driving-white-hot-widebody-engine-market\">https:\/\/www.ainonline.com\/aviation-news\/air-transport\/2023-11-14\/airlines-driving-white-hot-widebody-engine-market<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Air aviation news- Business is surging for Rolls-Royce as airlines step up their widebody fleet expansions and replacements, Ewen McDonald, chief customer officer of civil aviation for the engine maker, told AIN\u00a0during the Dubai Airshow. \u201cI&#8217;ve been in the business for 30 years and I&#8217;ve never seen the amount of demand now for widebody,\u201d McDonald &hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":10101,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_bbp_topic_count":0,"_bbp_reply_count":0,"_bbp_total_topic_count":0,"_bbp_total_reply_count":0,"_bbp_voice_count":0,"_bbp_anonymous_reply_count":0,"_bbp_topic_count_hidden":0,"_bbp_reply_count_hidden":0,"_bbp_forum_subforum_count":0,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"_wpscppro_dont_share_socialmedia":false,"_wpscppro_custom_social_share_image":0,"_facebook_share_type":"","_twitter_share_type":"","_linkedin_share_type":"","_pinterest_share_type":"","_linkedin_share_type_page":"","_instagram_share_type":"","_medium_share_type":"","_threads_share_type":"","_google_business_share_type":"","_selected_social_profile":[],"_wpsp_enable_custom_social_template":false,"_wpsp_social_scheduling":{"enabled":false,"datetime":null,"platforms":[],"status":"template_only","dateOption":"today","timeOption":"now","customDays":"","customHours":"","customDate":"","customTime":"","schedulingType":"absolute"},"_wpsp_active_default_template":true},"categories":[92,102],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-10100","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-airports","category-featured-en"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.4 (Yoast SEO v27.4) -
