Delta TechOps has completed the first shop visit and test of a Rolls-Royce Trent 1000 TEN engine at its Technical Operations Center in Atlanta.
As a powerplant option for the Boeing 787 aircraft operators, the test marks the first production of this model through Delta TechOps’ maintenance facility.
During the shop visit, the engine was disassembled to replace high pressure turbine systems and blades, and several reliability improvement service bulletins were incorporated. To successfully pass the test, the engine had to meet multiple performance parameters such as thrust, balance and temperatures.
“The successful test of the Rolls-Royce Trent 1000 TEN engine is a great achievement for Delta TechOps, and we’re proud of our world-class team and our Rolls-Royce support partners for their hard work to further our engine programs,” said Mike McBride, Delta’s Vice President – Maintenance Operations & Delta Material Services. “This is yet another step that advances our MRO offerings and capabilities, and TechOps will continue enhancing our next-generation engine types for our MRO customers worldwide.”
“We are delighted to celebrate another key milestone in the engine overhaul capability for the Rolls-Royce Trent 1000 TEN, which adds to the existing portfolio of Trent products within Delta TechOps," said Paul Keenan, Senior Vice President – Service Delivery, Rolls-Royce. "The whole programme delivery for this product, which has been during a challenging year due to the pandemic, is a testament to our collective teams’ determination, underpinned by a collaborative partnership focused on supporting our growing Trent fleet.”
In October 2015, Delta and Rolls-Royce signed a formal agreement for Delta TechOps to become an Authorized Maintenance Center for Rolls-Royce engines – the Trent 1000, Trent 7000, Trent XWB and BR715.
