                 ROLLS-ROYCE CONFIRMS TRENT XWB ORDER WITH CIT                 

Rolls-Royce today confirmed that the Trent XWB will power the seven Airbus A350
XWBs ordered by US leasing company, CIT, in an order worth around $300 million
at engine list prices. Deliveries are scheduled to begin in 2014.

Jeff Knittel, President, CIT Aerospace, said: "As the Trent XWB has been
specifically designed for the A350 XWB, it will clearly produce the optimum
levels of performance that our customers require. They continue to give us
positive feedback on their experiences with the Trent series and I'm confident
this latest version will maintain that reputation."

Mark King, Chief Commercial Officer, Civil Large Engines at Rolls-Royce, added:
"As an established and respected leasing company, CIT plays a big part in
penetrating new markets with our products. Their decision to purchase these
Trent-powered A350 XWBs signals their confidence in the programme and the
products."

The Trent XWB is the only engine available for the A350 XWB and will power all
versions of the aircraft. It is tailored for the specific requirements of the
family and is not compromised by a design based on other applications.

NOTE TO EDITORS:

 1. There are now 133 Trent-powered A350 XWBs on order with four customers.
   
 2. The 75,000 - 95,000lb thrust Trent XWB is the sixth member of the

    will be certificated at 95,000lbs from entry into service.

    completed by mid-2008. The first Trent XWB will be ground tested in 2010.
    In 2011, the engine will make its maiden flight on a flying test bed,
    followed by airworthiness certification and first flight on the A350 XWB in
    2012.
   
 4. The Trent XWB will be the only engine specifically developed and fully
    optimised for the 250-375 seat A350 XWB family and will utilise the latest
    available technology at entry into service to give the best performance and
    the lowest environmental impact.

    products. Each year Rolls-Royce, in collaboration with its partners,
    invests around £700 million on research and development, two thirds of
    which has the objective of reducing the environmental impact of its
    products. This technology investment is primarily aimed at reducing noise
    and emissions.
