Boeing plans to start assembly of the first of six low-rate initial production (LRIP) P-8A Poseidon maritime patrol aircraft by midyear, following the award of a $1.6 billion U.S. Navy contract. The LRIP-1 contract includes spares, logistics and training devices, and comes as Boeing continues to make rapid progress with the first batch of flight and ground test aircraft under the P-8A System Development and Demonstration (SDD) contract awarded in 2004.

Fuel has declined from its price peak of 2008 and, while renewed research into open-rotor engines continues, easing economic pressures along with tenacious technical challenges could combine to delay their availability.

Can a small turbine-engine market long dominated by Pratt & Whitney Canada and Williams International accommodate another competitor? When the market entrant is one of the “Big Three” engine manufacturers, then the answer is likely yes. General Electric’s push to build its business and general aviation unit into a $1-billion company by 2020 is spearheaded by the HF120 turbofan developed jointly with Honda and the H80 turboprop re-engineered from the M601 produced by Czech manufacturer Walter, which GE acquired in 2008.
