Parker Aerospace to support Rolls-Royce on Trent 1000 Package C and Trent 1000 -TEN engines

Parker Aerospace has been chosen by Rolls-Royce to provide high-temperature fuel hoses and lifetime support on its Trent 1000 -TEN and Trent 1000 package C engines. The Rolls-Royce Trent 1000 C and Trent 1000 -TEN engines are being developed for the Boeing 787 Dreamliner aircraft. Product design, manufacture, and support will be completed by Parker’s Stratoflex Products Division in Fort Worth, Texas. The bill of material covers high-temperature hoses that channel fuel to the engine. As part of the partnership, Parker will provide all-inclusive customer service and support on its components for the life of the engines. This approach is a continuing tradition for Parker on Rolls-Royce TotalCare programs and helps provide optimized, predictable cost over the long term. The first Parker-supplied Trent 1000 -TEN components are scheduled for delivery to Rolls-Royce in late 2014.
