Small things make
perfection, but perfection
is no small thing.
This is a bolt, a Trent XWB fan case bolt. It may not look as eye-catching as say
a fan blade but, just like one of those hollow titanium blades, it’s as close
to perfection as is possible. There are more than 20,000 parts in a Trent XWB
and each of them has to meet the same exacting standards. Every part
undergoes extreme testing to ensure it’s capable of doing what it’s designed
to do every time. This may be just a bolt but it’s designed, manufactured and
installed with pride and that’s what makes the Trent XWB the most efficient
aero engine in the world today.
