Fokker Elmo Wins Contract For Rolls-Royce Trent XWB Wiring

Engine Will Power Airbus A350

Stork Aerospace subsidiary Fokker Elmo has signed a contract with Rolls-Royce to provide design support and manufacture for the electrical wiring for the Trent XWB engine. The associated design-support and production work, which will begin later this year, is expected to be worth approximately $70 million.

The Trent XWB Engine is specifically designed for the A350XWB family of aircraft, and includes the latest technology to minimize operating costs and deliver exceptional performance. It has single engine type operational benefits with the lowest carbon emissions of any wide body engine. Besides powering the A350-800 and A350-900 the Trent XWB will also power the larger A350-1000 in the 350 seat market, the A350-900 Freighter and the ultra long range A350-900R, providing a single engine type across the aircraft family. To date, Airbus has received customer commitments for 493 A350XWB aircraft from 28 operators making the Trent XWB the fastest-selling member of the Trent engine family.

With the Trent XWB engine program Fokker Elmo will be extending a business relationship with Rolls-Royce that started in the late nineties. The development phase of the A350XWB program will take place at Fokker Elmo the Netherlands followed by series production scheduled to be undertaken at Fokker Elmo China.

“At Fokker Elmo we are very proud of the relationship between Rolls-Royce and Fokker," said Jan Lagasse President of Fokker Elmo. "We feel privileged to be a part of the Trent XWB program and to be able to contribute to its success”.
