This makes at least 4 episodes of Quantas Airlines failures in the last few months.

But the is a different Rolls Royce engine on a 747 not on an A380.

But the is a different Rolls Royce engine on a 747 not on an A380.

About the same as the differences between the 900 on the 380 and the 1000 on the 787 (which I understand has also had at least one uncontained failure during ground testing)?

Aren't the Trents just follow on developments for the RB211s developed for the L1011 and then dropped into the 747 and other planes of that era?
