RR to build Production Factory in SG
-
Singapore
In the light of the CompanyÂ’s success in the modern wide-body aircraft market and the need to develop increased capacity, Rolls-Royce will build a new facility in Singapore to assemble and test large civil engines, starting with the Trent 1000 for the Boeing 787 and the Trent XWB for the Airbus A350 XWB. Together with its existing UK facility in Derby, this will provide the Company with a dual sourcing capability for the assembly and test of large civil engines, including future new versions of the Trent engine.
The CompanyÂ’s Derby facility is planned to remain the centre of expertise for large civil engines, with the capability to design and develop these engines. It will also continue to assemble and test the CompanyÂ’s portfolio of large civil engines.
The new facility will be located in an Aerospace Park at Seletar in the north of Singapore and will be fully operational by the end of 2009. It will employ up to 330 people depending on customer demand and will receive support from the Singapore Economic Development Board.
The establishment of this modern “factory of the future” represents an important step forward in the development of the Trent programme and in the Company’s wider relationship with Singapore.

That's what I was thinking too. But if they take the precaution of pointing the tailpipes of the engines south, the island will just bump up against Johore during the run-ups.Originally posted by megatron:" Test large civil engines"?..here? I don;t think this island is big enough.
