Simply Flying speculate on Airbus developments2 Jul 2025 06:29
“To this end, Rolls-Royce's giant UltraFan geared turbofan engine has been touted as a possible powerhouse for a new large Airbus aircraft. Currently in the demonstrator phase, it is the largest ever built with a 140-inch fan diameter and can deliver 25% less fuel burn than the first generation of Trent engine. Rolls-Royce also has a smaller version in the works that would power narrowbody aircraft, which could very possibly be a new Airbus single-aisle to replace the A320-family.”
Exciting times if this comes to pass….
