Pratt & Whitney’s PW1100G geared turbofan for the re-engined Airbus A320NEO has entered flight tests on the company’s Boeing 747SP flying testbed. The flight tests, which began from Pratt’s Montreal, Quebec facility on May 15, get underway as the engine manufacturer confirms it has decided to drop the variable area fan nozzle (VAFN) feature from the NEO engine.
Boeing has started final body join of the first 787-9 stretch derivative at its Everett, Wash, facility. The 206-ft long variant is stretched 20-ft over the baseline 787-8 and will carry 290 passengers in a typical three-class configuration, or 40 additional passengers. The aircraft, which will enter service early in 2014 with launch customer Air New Zealand, is expected to begin its test campaign in the third quarter.
