Flogging a dying concept Alistair..inherent design flaw. Better to cut losses and exchange 'em for the new GEs

Singapore Airlines A380 Turned Back By Engine Problem

An engine problem forced a Singapore Airlines Ltd. (C6L.SG) A380 superjumbo jet en route to Frankfurt to return to Singapore on Tuesday, in the latest incident involving Rolls-Royce Holdings PLC (RR.LN) engines used to power the world's biggest passenger aircraft.

Flight SQ26, which was carrying more than 430 passengers, landed safely at 6.40 a.m. local time after its crew reported a problem with one of the jet's four Rolls-Royce Trent 900 engines nearly three hours after takeoff, the airline said in a statement.
