Airbus installs Trent XWB engines

Airbus Press Release & Pictures

On Airliners.net, they seem to think they’ve been installed earlier than planned. Might this suggest than some time has been clawed back?

Whatever Airbus say, I am pretty sure they are desperate to get it flying at the Paris Air show. Sure I read a statement from Rolls Royce stating they were looking to see it fly at the air show.

Good news. I’m sure that they’re also keeping an eye on the 787 situation.
