Talk:Rolls-Royce Trent 7000

Durability problems

I removed the following statement from the text: "It shares the Trent 1000 durability problems and that could deter buyers, fixes will be available six months after the plane is introduced in summer 2018". This is because a more recent source (a quote from the CEO of RR reported by Reuters) states that the Trent 1000 issues will not affect the Trent 700 or XWB. See [1] The original article was only based on rumours in any event. -- 23 July 2018 Routlej1

Thanks for noticing. It is not Wikipedia editors duty to judge what is a rumor or not (and RR's CEO responding to it makes it not a rumor IMO), a better way to deal with it is to include both referenced statements, which I did.--Marc Lacoste (talk) 08:38, 23 July 2018 (UTC)

Agreed that it is probably worth leaving both articles in - but I think you've mis-read the quote from the RR CEO - he said that [b]Trent 7000[/b] (not Trent 700) won't be affected by the Trent 1000 issues. I've updated the article to say that some reports indicate that the Trent 7000 will be affected by the Trent 1000 issues, but that this has been refuted by the CEO. I guess we won't know anyway until the thing is in service. Routlej1 (talk) 09:30, 26 July 2018 (UTC)

Thanks for noticing the typo. Thanks for sticking to the (bloomberg) ref: writing "the engine shares some components with the Trent 1000" is WP:OR: it doesn't "share some components", it is based on the 1000 with bleed air: the 7000 is only a 1000 subvariant like the trent 1000 pack B/C/TEN in its type certificate data sheet. The 7000 is not affected like the TEN variant.--Marc Lacoste (talk) 12:14, 26 July 2018 (UTC)
