Rolls-Royce recently uploaded a video of its new Trent XWB assembly line in Dahlewitz, Germany, offering a glimpse into how 20,000 components come together to form what the company claims is the world’s most efficient aero engine.
This recently opened assembly line complements the main production line in Derby, UK, and will help meet the demand for Rolls-Royce’s Trent XWB engines by delivering up to two engines per week by the end of 2017.
Combining this with the capacity to deliver up to five Trent XWB engines from its main production line in Derby the company says that it will be able to deliver one Trent XWB engine per day at peak.
