How much does a Rolls Royce plane engine cost?
In 2000 Qantas were quoted a price of US$12.85 million per Trent 900. In 2015 Emirates Airlines signed a contract for 200 Trent 900s including long-term service support at a cost of US$9.2 billion or US$46 million per engine.
What is the future of aircraft technology?
With the advent of new aircraft designs and fueling methods, the science fiction of flying cars and hyperspeed jets is quickly becoming a reality. Whether it is new prototypes, successful tests, or entirely functioning flight models, there is plenty of future aircraft technology bursting onto the scene — both big and small.
What’s new in civil aerospace?
We have launched a number of new engine demonstrator programmes to address these requirements across our Civil Aerospace portfolio, featuring new architectures and innovative technological improvements to deliver 2-shaft and 3-shaft engine solutions for future aircraft applications.
Are combustible airplane engines the future of aviation?
Combustible airline engines will not be sustainable in the future. With climate change becoming an increasingly looming threat, any technology that reduces our dependence on ozone layer-destroying byproducts calls for a celebration. Traditionally fueled airplanes account for around 4\% of greenhouse gas emissions worldwide.
Are biofuels the future of airplanes?
While the technology for biofuels powering future aircraft is there, the commercial viability is not. Unfortunately, it is still much cheaper for airline companies to run on kerosene. So, until oil becomes incredibly scarce, or governmental intervention occurs, biofuel will always remain on the sideline of the commercial industry.
