Why is the UltraFan covered here?

The UltraFan has much different architecture than the Trent. Besides incorporating a reduction gearbox for the fan, the UltraFan doesn't have a free power turbine like the Trents do. Rolls Royce seems to treat it as a totally different engine, so the UltraFan section should probably be moved to its own page. D271l (talk) 05:41, 19 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The UltraFan is presented as a Trent successor. Maybe it could span a new family with a new name, or its technology could be included in the Trent Family. Anyway, it could have its own page, feel free to move it to a new page. Cheers--Marc Lacoste (talk) 06:24, 19 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
