These were the assurances given by the government to concerned private parties at the Defexpo 2008 in New Delhi, which saw three days of hectic business parleys and industry discus- sions. The expo culminates today after being thrown open to the public for a while.

But none other than the Defence Minster AK Antony himself admitted that the policy was still at a nascent stage and evolving. For many, it was a posi- tive sign at last that the New Hon.

hen Singapore Airlines’ first Airbus WA380 flight took off for Sydney, its passengers felt reassured that the Rolls-Royce Trent 900 engine that powers this magnificient aircraft has been tested to the equivalent of 14 years in operation. This makes it the most tested engine Rolls-Royce has ever produced. The amount of testing that had gone into de- veloping this engine helped to make it the engine of choice for the A380. Singapore Airlines has a total of 10 aircraft on order with Trent power. Ten other airlines have also made an engine selection for the A380. Of these, seven have joined Singapore Airlines as Trent 900 customers giving it a 61 per cent market share.
