The FAA added that they will not approve the software for installation until the agency is contented with the review.

Singapore Airlines has grounded a pair of Boeing 787-10s owing to premature deterioration of the high pressure turbine (HPT) blades in their Rolls-Royce Trent 1000 TEN engines. Singapore Airlines operates nine 787-10s. The only other Trent-powered 787-10 is a single example delivered recently to All Nippon Airways. The other 12 787-10s in service - including one operated by Boeing - are powered by General Electric GEnx-1Bs. Previously the Trent 1000 suffered durability issues with their intermediate pressure compressor blades, requiring redesign work. Rolls-Royce added that they are working on finding a fix to the wear issue.
