The Airbus A380 is equipped with four Rolls-Royce Turbojet engines, which feature a bypass ratio of approximately 9. Fuel efficiency is a primary design consideration for these engines, although it is balanced against manufacturing costs and reliability. Current operational standards require these engines to maintain stable performance for five years or longer between overhauls. This design approach ensures optimal fuel economy while addressing critical performance requirements.
