Rolls-Royce has agreed to an accelerated inspection of some of its Trent 1000 TEN engines by the European Aviation Safety Agency. It follows the earlier-than-expected replacement of high-pressure turbine blades on a few engines. Rolls-Royce said the inspections would not affect projections for in-service cash costs for this year or next. Rolls-Royce's Trent 1000 TEN engines have been in service since November 2017 and there are currently more than 180 in service, the company said. The company also announced that it had reached agreement with Airbus Helicopters and Sikorsky Aircraft to provide parts for two new helicopters in 2018.
