What type of engine is on a A330?
The A330 has three engine choices for airlines to choose from: two General Electric CF6-80E engines, two Pratt & Whitney PW4000 engines or two Rolls-Royce Trent 700 engines.
What engines do Aer Lingus use?
These planes account for 75% of Aer Lingus’s current fleet, and the standard A320-200 is by far the most numerous model. There are 31 examples of this twinjet from the Airbus A320ceo (‘Current Engine Option) range in the Irish flag carrier’s fleet, with an average age of 15 years old.
What speed does a A330 take off at?
Airbus A330 Specs Table
| A330-200ceo | A330-300ceo | |
|---|---|---|
| Maximum Take off Weight | 233,000 kg | 230,000 kg |
| Takeoff distance at MTOW (Sea level) | 2,220 m (7,280 ft) | 2,500 m (8,200 ft) |
| Maximum Landing Weight | 180,000 kg | 185,000 kg |

What engine is on the A330neo?
Rolls-Royce Trent 7000 engine
The A330neo uses the Rolls-Royce Trent 7000 engine, which is an electronic controlled bleed air variant of the Trent 1000 used on the Boeing 787-10. It will have a 112 in (284 cm) diameter fan and a 10:1 bypass ratio. They deliver a thrust of 68,000 to 72,000 pounds-force (300 to 320 kN).
How many engines does the A330 have?
two engines
The A330 is a medium-size, wide-body aircraft, with two engines suspended on pylons under the wings.
How many engines does Airbus A330 have?
What is the differences between A330 Type A and A330neo aircraft?
The A330-800 is a successor to the A330-200, while the A330-900 is a successor to the A330-300. The difference here, however, is that the A330neos have a higher floor in terms of capacity. So, an airline that has an A330-200 can upgrade capacity without sacrificing fleet efficiency.
What would happen if a plane’s engines fail?
If both engines fail, the aeroplane is no longer being pushed forwards through thrust, therefore in order to keep the air flowing over the wings, the aircraft must exchange energy through losing altitude (descending) in order to maintain forward airspeed.
