RUSLAN HAS SUCCESSFULLY PERFORMED A ROLLS−ROYCE’s REQUEST

The biggest series transport aircraft AN−124−100 Ruslan has performed a milestone, cross−channel flight to deliver the highest−thrust production engine Rolls−Royce Trent XWB−97 from Britain to France.

This transport operation became a next page in list of the unique transportations performed by Ruslan. Rolls−Royce Trent XWB−97 is a new oversized and the highest−thrust jet the manufacturer has ever made. Ruslan carried the engine manufactured in Derby facility, from East Midlands airport to the Airbus testing facility in Toulouse.

On the customer's request, it was particularly important that this mission was completed on time, as the Trent XWB−97 engine that was being transported is the first of its kind that will actually take flight, on an Airbus A380 flying test bed.
