Test running is in progress with a 535E4 development engine with a high-efficiency wide-chord fan. This engine is being developed for service in Boeing 757 airliners from 1984. Its advanced fan incorporates technology unique to Rolls-Royce. Recent testing has shown that this new fan reduces fuel consumption by over 2½% compared with the earlier design of fan on the initial 535C engine.
