Pratt & Whitney and CFM International will face off in the upcoming war to win the next-generation single-aisle market following the launch of a 30,000-lb.-thrust geared turbofan (GTF) for Russia’s MC‑21 airliner, and the imminent award of China’s C919 engine to CFMI’s LEAP-X.
Boeing will aggressively ramp up the 787 flight-test program by flying the second airframe as early as Dec. 22, just days after the successful first flight of the prototype aircraft ZA001.
Commercial Aircraft Corporation of China (Comac) has selected CFM International’s LEAP-X engine to power its C-919 family, according to reports published in France. The engine decision, which is expected to be ratified at a signing ceremony on Monday in Beijing during a visit by French Prime Minister Francois Fillon, also gives the joint General Electric-Snecma engine maker a major boost in its efforts to launch a next-generation engine ahead of emerging power requirements from Airbus and Boeing for upcoming A320 and 737 successors.
