Rolls-Royce | How we assemble the Trent XWB; the world's most efficient aero engine

It takes more than 20,000 components perfectly fitted together to build the world's most efficient aero engine, the Trent XWB. See how it is done at our Trent XWB assembly line in Dahlewitz, Germany.

Finally, I've been waiting years for a DIY tutorial of a great jet engine

This video's sound is incredible. Where has YouTube been all our lives? This video is incredibly interesting, and educational and entertaining. In order to see this in day's past you would have had to go to the library, and you might find it on microfilm or film. Who knows? TV didn't have custom technology until the 1970's, and even then, it wasn't all that great.

You guys and gals are great at what you do - make me proud to be British. Rolls Royce rules!

[tomasgarcia]

How much time do they spend on crafting the motor ?

Beautiful machined alloy parts immaculately assembled in a hospital clean environment. Modern engineering is truly fantastic.

Incredible video production. Having worked in turbofan engine repair and overhaul as a mechanical engineer in all of the processes shown, I am very impressed. So many tiny but crucial details shown. Retired now, but vertical stack and engine test still excite me. Well done, RR.

Love how bright and shiny all their tools are. Like they've only been used a few times in their life.

Engineering marvel. It's hard to believe with the state of society that we are living in the most technologically advanced age of our species.

How much labor !! This thing IS a work of art.

I didn’t see any black or female person. As a black female I will change that soon!

The complexity of a jet engine is mind boggling. Very good video for reminding us something of what goes into this incredibly important part of what gets us into the sky and to our destination…safely!

At 03:13 - RR XWB engine final assembled and tested in Germany, put on a Dutch (Holland/Netherlands) NL registered truck - to transport it to Airbus.
The truck with an EU text in French language (Convoi Exceptionnel)...

I can knock you one of these up in my shed for half the price ;-) What a gorgeous piece of machinery.

[VoraciousAvgeek]

Trent XWB is an amazing engine. If I see a RR logo on my plane's engines, I know I am on a truly reliable and awesome sounding aircraft.

[omkarparab]

Was wondering..for assembly you recruit Mechanical engineers or just train any people for the job? 🤔

[taleimoce]

These guys basically putting the pieces together, but how did they engineer such a marvel its so amazing its mindblowing!

[madswinebbq]

I'm machining a Tail Bearing Housing for this engine. It's just awesome to see this! I wish companies would take the machinists who work on these products to this location as a "field trip" to see what their years of hard work actually looks like! Would definitely deliver a turbo boost of pride to a person to see this!

[mitchbarredo]

Imagine being the truck driver for that load!  Probably that engine is worth 15 million CDN, watch those bumps!!
