How Much Does An Airbus A350 Rolls-Royce Trent XWB Engine Cost?
xCruzo Brief
A Rolls-Royce Trent XWB powering the Airbus A350 has a list price of about $25 million per engine, according to a Simple Flying comparison. That’s below the General Electric GE90 at $30 million and the GE9X at $42 million, though some reported contract figures for A350 orders have approached $35 million. List prices aren’t what airlines actually pay, because widebody engines are rarely purchased as stand-alone items. They’re typically bundled into an aircraft deal alongside a long-term support agreement such as Rolls-Royce’s TotalCare, which shifts maintenance risk to the manufacturer via a per-engine-flying-hour rate and onboard overhauls.
