Boeing is playing down reports that a rising tide of rework is about to trigger another delay to the already lagging 787 delivery schedule. The company, faced with a laundry list of engineering items to finalize on the production aircraft and its Rolls-Royce Trent 1000 engines, as well as niggling rework over workmanship issues with the horizontal stabilizer, is reportedly reviewing its delivery schedule. This calls for delivery of the first aircraft to Japanese launch customer All Nippon Airways in February 2011.
Multinational aero engine consortium International Aero Engines (IAE) is considering action to promote the V2500 and reassure customers of its market commitment in the wake of uncertainty caused by the legal spat between its two major partners—Rolls-Royce and Pratt & Whitney—as well as the latter’s bid to push the competing geared turbofan (GTF) for the Airbus A320.
General Electric is poised to start testing a major upgrade to its GEnx-1B engine for the Boeing 787. The company’s goal is to bring specific fuel consumption within a percent of the original performance specification.
