Rolls-Royce breaks ground on testbed at UK headquarters
Teams at global engine manufacturer, Rolls-Royce, broke ground on a new testbed at the company’s Derby headquarters last month. Read More » The testbed, scheduled for completion in 2020, will test the Trent XWB and Trent 1000 engines. It also will serve as a base for testing the UltraFan, the manufacturer’s engine for the next generation of aircraft.
Rolls-Royce president civil aerospace, Chris Cholerton, said: “the new testbed comes at a pivotal moment for our civil aerospace business as we ramp up production to record levels and look forward to completing a hat trick of engine launches with the Trent 7000 due to enter service this year.”
The testbed will be the world’s largest indoor facility of its type. It will harness the latest digital technology to set conditions and obtain evidence from a wide variety of test activities including water ingestion, endurance testing and new X-ray capabilities, Rolls-Royce said. Rolls-Royce assembles the Trent XWB and the Trent 700, 900 and 1000 engines in Derby.
