Rolls-Royce PLC, the world's second-largest aircraft engine maker, said Monday it has finalized an order with Airbus to supply its Trent engine for the planemaker's A350 XWB aircraft.
Financial details were not disclosed.
The contract follows a preliminary agreement announced the Farnborough air show in July.
Rolls-Royce said the Trent 700 is the cleanest and quietest engine for the A350 and meets all current and proposed legislation on environmental targets.
Last month, Rolls-Royce said Singapore Airlines Ltd. chose its Trent 700 engine to power a new fleet of 19 leased Airbus A330-300 twin-engine jets. Deliveries of the new aircraft will begin in early 2009.
Rolls-Royce shares rose 0.2 percent to 428.75 pence (US$8.50; euro6.37) on the London Stock Exchange.
