ROLLS-ROYCE DEMONSTRATES TECHNOLOGY LEADERSHIP IN PARIS

World-leading technology developed by Rolls-Royce, the global power
systems company, was one of the highlights of this week’s Paris Airshow,
where the Group launched the latest member of the Trent family and won
significant new orders.

Rolls-Royce confirmed development of an enhanced Trent XWB engine, capable
of delivering 97,000lbs of thrust, for the enhanced Airbus A350-1000,
while also securing orders of $2.9 billion from customers in South
America, the Middle East and Asia.

The Trent XWB continued its strong success with a $2.2bn order from TAM
Airlines for engines to power 27 Airbus A350-XWBs, along with TotalCare®
long-term support services.

The Trent XWB is the world’s most advanced civil aircraft engine and the
Group’s fastest selling, having already won orders for over 1,100
engines. Responding to customer demand, this higher thrust variant will
deliver increased range and capacity for the aircraft.
In another significant milestone, the Group received certification from
the Japanese Civil

Aviation Bureau for the cutting edge Trent 1000, which will power the
Boeing 787 Dreamliner’s entry into service with All Nippon Airways later
this year. The Trent 1000 is the most efficient engine on the 787
Dreamliner. It offers the lowest fuel consumption, noise and weight and
will help the aircraft to reduce CO2 emissions by 20 per cent, when
compared to previous generation aircraft.

Rolls-Royce also announced a contract to supply Enhanced Performance (EP)
kits to Etihad, which will improve the efficiency of the market-leading
Trent-700 engine. EP kits enhance engine performance by more than 1 per
cent, and will reduce Etihad’s annual CO2 emissions by up to 24,000
tonnes when applied to 30 of their Airbus A330’s. The $360m agreement
also includes provision of TotalCare support.

The Group highlighted its commitment to introduce new technologies into
existing engine lines with the signing of a Memorandum of Agreement with
Lockheed Martin. The agreement covers the provision of engine enhancements
for T56 engines, used by a range of military operators on C-130 Hercules
and P-3 Orion fleets. These improvements can deliver a 9 per cent
reduction in fuel consumption and have a significant impact on emissions.
Rolls-Royce is a senior partner in International Aero Engines, which
received orders for V2500 engines, worth $310m to Rolls-Royce.
