DAYTON, Ohio – The GE Rolls-Royce F136 Fighter Engine Team is investigating the source of debris in the oil system that has forced tests of the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter alternative engine to be halted. The first production-configuration F136 has been running since Jan. 30, and was nearing the end of its initial test runs when engineers noted a drop-off in test data, even though the engine continued to operate smoothly. A GE Rolls-Royce spokesman says tests were halted as a precaution when monitors detected debris in the oil system. Lost sensors
After a break of several months, flight test engineers plan to re-activate systems on the prototype Boeing 787 over the next few days. Initial test work on ZA001, now housed in Building 40-24 at the company’s sprawling Everett, Wash., complex, focused on verification tests of the aircraft’s Ethernet links.
Boeing is flight testing Qatar Airways’ first ultra-long-haul 777-200LR, which is set to inaugurate direct services from Doha to Houston in late March. The carrier was originally due to start direct flights to Houston in December 2008, but was forced to delay the start of services because of the production hold-up at Boeing caused by a machinists’ strike. The aircraft is the first of eight -200LRs on order, and is powered with an up-rated version of General Electric’s GE90-115B engine to cope with the high temperatures of Qatar’s desert home.
