ANA 787s affected by defect in Trent 1000 gearbox
All Nippon Airways (ANA) grounded five of its 11 Boeing 787 aircraft on 21 July, after being notified by Boeing that there may be a defect in the gearbox of the Rolls Royce Trent 1000 engine. "We received a message from Boeing to the effect that there may be an issue with the gearbox on the engines of the 787s in ANA's fleet. No related problems have arisen on our 787s, however we have ascertained that the part at issue is fitted to five of our aircraft," says an ANA spokesman.

Another Rolls Royce engine problem... First with the A380's Trent 800s and now the 1000s. I Personally like the 787 with the GE engines more. Just my opinion.
Does kind of make you wonder
GE makes the best aircraft engines hands down.
Let's don't rush to judgement here though; RR has been in business many years. What there have been problems with though have been the new stuff here lately on high prifile aircraft. Bad Luck or Bad QC?????? Or Rush to production?????????????
I would say rushed to production...
.. Perhaps another delay in seeing ANA and the 787 starting service at KSJC
Hey Well as least Boeing noticed the issue before it because a major issue unlike Airbus who didn't pay attention. Once again it proves Boeing is very upfront and looks over there planes well.
