Boeing Sends Vice President to Rolls-Royce Amid Trent 1000 Crisis

Rolls-Royce has come a long way in the past decade. In July, the company reported a surge in interim operating profit and increased its full-year forecast.

This turnaround was largely due to the lessons learned from the Trent 1000 program debacle a decade ago.

The Trent 1000 engine was used on Boeing's 787 Dreamliner aircraft. However, issues with durability and corrosion led to widespread groundings of flights in 2016.

At its peak, up to 500 engines may have been affected by these problems.
