A380s have new engines
British engine-supplier Rolls- Royce may replace up to 40 engines on Airbus A380 superjumbos flown by three airlines, Qantas said Thursday, after a midair explosion sparked safety fears over the world's biggest passenger jet.
The number accounts for nearly half of the Trent 900 engines powering A380s operated by Australia's Qantas, Singapore Airlines and Germany's Lufthansa, and follows extensive checks after the November 4 blast over Indonesia.
