Parker Aerospace gas turbine fuel systems vice-president and general manager David Overholt said: “The Trent 7000 is the sole engine selected for the A330neo, so the Parker Aerospace contribution is a real vote of confidence.
“Rolls-Royce had a wide choice of suppliers to choose from, including those whose products were also used on the very latest engines, the Trent 1000 and the Trent XWB.”
The new Trent 7000 engines will feature the fuel atomisation nozzle and manifold subsystem, which was previously developed by Parker’s gas turbine fuel systems division for Rolls-Royce’s Trent 1000 engine programme.
The nozzle and manifold subsystem employs various components, including vibration-resistant fuel-delivery hoses, developed by Parker’s Stratoflex products division.

By GlobalDataParker Aerospace gas turbine fuel systems engineering director Larry Staley said: “By absorbing and dampening the effects of engine vibration, operators can expect extended service lifecycle and lower costs.
“The innovative Stratoflex high-temperature flexible hoses first appeared on the Rolls-Royce BR725.”
In addition, Parker Aerospace announced that it has been selected by Textron Aviation to provide main wheels and brakes, as well as nosewheel.
The wheels and brakes will be used on Textron’s new Cessna Denali single-engine turboprop aircraft.
