During the 2011 Avalon Airshow , Rolls-Royce faced questions concerning incidents with its Trent 900 Turbofan used to power the Airbus A380 aircraft . One of the engines suffered a partial power loss during a Qantas flight in February 2011 . This followed an incident in November 2010 in which an engine disintegrated in flight causing Qantas Flight 32 to make an emergency landing in Singapore . The aircraft was extensively damaged and the airline grounded its fleet of A380s . The problem was traced to a fatigue crack in an oil pipe requiring the replacement of some engines and modifications to the design . Trent-powered A380s operated by Lufthansa and Singapore Airlines were also affected . Qantas gradually returned its A380s to service over several months . In June 2011 the airline announced it had agreed to compensation of US$ 100m from Rolls-Royce
