Investigators are looking into the causes of a fire that broke out in the aft electric equipment bay of a Japan Airlines Boeing 787 shortly after passengers deplaned at Boston’s Logan International Airport on Jan. 7. The JAL 787, which was delivered to the airline on Dec. 20, had been on the ground for 25 min. when smoke was detected in the cabin.
Engine manufacturers will be busy in 2013 as testing accelerates on the latest commercial turbofans and work advances on the next generation of military powerplants. Production will rise, but more significantly on the commercial side than the military. The pace is highest at CFM and Pratt & Whitney as they battle for the single-aisle airliner market with the Leap-1 and PW1000G, respectively. While the 2011 and 2012 order levels are unlikely to be sustained in 2013, it will see vital tests for both engines.
