Airbus SE (AIR.FR) said Wednesday that it has signed a
collaboration agreement with Rolls-Royce Holdings PLC (RR.LN) to
test the latter's UltraFan demonstrator.
The UltraFan is a jet-engine design aimed at both widebody and
single-aisle planes and is more efficient than Rolls-Royce's
first-generation Trent engine, according to the plane maker. In
future, Airbus plans to use UltraFan engines in long-range
aircraft.
Airbus said the program will be cofunded by European Union-led
research program Clean Sky 2, which focuses on developing
technology to reduce emissions.
