Description:
The Trent 500 family of engines have been specifically designed to meet the requirements of longer range, wide body Airbus A340-500 and -600 airliners. Its design has been cleared for 60,000 pounds of thrust but, currently, Trent 500 engines are only available rated at 53,000-lb (Trent 553) and 56,000-lb (Trent 556).
Trent 500 provide reliable and economical power to latest A340 models. Its design derived from the RB211 three-shaft engine and the Trent 800 wide-chord fan core that has been scaled down for the Trent 500. Low noise and emissions levels are a goal achieved by the Trent 500 engines.
The Trent 553 model entered service in 2003 powering the Airbus A340-500 ultra-long range airliner.
On 24 April 2006 Kingfisher Airlines signed a contract for the purchase of five Airbus A340-500 airplanes and took options on five more aircraft. These aircraft were scheduled to be delivered in 2008 powered by Rolls-Royce Trent 500 engines. The engine contract and total maintenance agreement were valued at $500 million.
