The second boeing 787 flight test article, the airplane on which Boeing will focus systems testing, has reached the flight line outside the factory in Everett, Wash., to begin fuel testing. Like the first airplane, ZA001, which is expected to begin flight testing the week of June 22, ZA002 is powered by twin Rolls-Royce Trent 1000 engines.
Boeing believes the industry recovery could begin in mid-2010, with some potential improvements coming to the badly hit freighter market as early as late this year. Boeing Commercial President Scott Carson says, “It feels like we’re bouncing off the bottom of the cycle. But when will we recover? It feels to us that around the middle of next year is when we’re likely to see growth return to the industry.”
Less than a year after flying its PW1000G geared turbofan (GTF) demonstrator for the first time, Pratt & Whitney appears to be gaining in confidence as it sets out its stall for Airbus and Boeing at the Paris air show. “They’re walking the walk with us,” says Bob Saia, Pratt vice president for the next-generation product family. Engineers just finished crunching data gathered on last year’s proving flights on the company’s Boeing 747SP flying testbed and the Airbus A340-600 technology demonstrator.
