Boeing will make the double-stretch 787-10X its next major development priority, taking precedence over the longer-term 777X and the New Small Airplane (NSA) replacement for the 737. Plans to step up development of the -10X as a competitor to the Airbus A350-900/-1000 are emerging as Boeing prepares for the long-delayed certification of the baseline 787-8 and proceeds with the critical design review of the next model in the family, the stretched 787-9.
Europe is launching a new wave of engine technology research to sustain aviation growth, reduce impact on the environment and bolster the competitiveness of regional engine makers.
The drive to satisfy the airlines' insatiable need for better fuel efficiency will take another step this summer when engineers from Europe's Clean Sky research program complete a feasibility study for installing a counter-rotating open-rotor engine on the side of an Airbus A340-600 flying testbed.
