N3 Engine Overhaul Services (N3), a Rolls-Royce and Lufthansa Technik joint venture, has overhauled its first Rolls-Royce Trent XWB engine, which belongs to Munich-based Deutsche Lufthansa airline’s fleet of A350 aircraft.
With the delivery, N3 is permanently adding a fourth engine type to its future portfolio – namely the most state-of-the-art Rolls-Royce engine currently in use, the Trent XWB (A350). So far, the repair and overhaul company has only serviced the Rolls-Royce Trent 500 (A340), Trent 700 (A330) and Trent 900 (A380) engines.
The Rolls-Royce Trent XWB engine will have a considerable impact on N3’s business in the next few years. Due to its efficiency and reliability, the Airbus A350 aircraft, which is powered by the Trent XWB engine, is currently the most rapidly selling wide-body aircraft. It is becoming increasingly popular with airlines all over the world.
