Rolls-Royce: Powering the Whispering Giant – The Trent 900 Engine

The Rolls-Royce Trent 900 engines power the world’s largest airliner, the Airbus A380. In February 2001, Rolls-Royce announced the launch of one of the most ambitious engineering programmes in the company’s Civil Aerospace history – to develop the Trent 900 engine to power the Airbus A380, a new and exciting aircraft which would become the largest civil airliner ever built.

The Trent 900 is the 4th member of the Trent family, and holds pride of place as the largest jet engine ever produced by Rolls-Royce. ‘Powering the Whispering Giant’ plots the Trent 900 journey in photographs from concept to design, development, testing, first flight on the A340 flying test bed, flight test on the A380, route proving, service readiness and entry into service in October 2007.

This colourful publication combines the best images from throughout the programme, with descriptions of each major step along the way, to offer the reader a unique insight into one of the most public and most exciting new jet engine programmes ever undertaken.

JUST ARRIVED!

Wild Blue Yonder [B293]

‘Two nations divided by a common language’: this was never more true than in 1942 when the first American airmen arrived in the UK. Young Americans were puzzled, amazed and often exasperated by the mysteries of British speech, food, manners and plumbing.
Martin Bowman has interviewed hundreds of veterans, from decorated pilots to British civilians who, as children, were entertained on US bases and have never forgotten the forging of an enduring alliance.

Set over 224 high quality pages, with hundreds of full-colour and black and white original images, Wild Blue Yonder pays homage to the friendships formed in battle and their ability to stand the test of time long after the last shot is fired.

RRP: £19.99

Celebrating 100 years of powered flight in the UK (Code FP100)
One hundred years ago, showman Samuel Cody made history when he powered his aircraft into the Farnborough skies – the aviation age had arrived in the UK.
What followed changed the lives of everyone, with transportation, leisure, commerce and warfare all being quick to take advantage of the new technology.
Key Publishing’s latest 100-page perfect-bound special issue examines how aviation developed in Britain, showing how the UK’s industry started, then expanded during the war years, merged and eventually evolved into its current form. It pays tribute to the famous people behind the history-making machines.
