Airbus engineers hope a series of test flights Pratt & Whitney’s geared turbofan (GTF) engine later this year will answer questions engineers have about the turbofan’s promised fuel burn savings.
The future of the embattled C-17 airlifter is about to be decided by a series of intersecting funding and program decisions, but Boeing is quietly confident that a new clutch of orders could provide a lifeline to development of a short takeoff and landing (STOL) C-17B variant.
Following close behind the NMT (NATO midterm) E-3A is the U.S. Air Force’s E-3B/C AWACS Block 40/45 upgrade. Based on the same building blocks as the NMT, the timescale of the Boeing-developed Block 40/45 is heavily dependent on funding. Initial operational capability for the first five USAF AWACS aircraft is scheduled for 2013, three years later than originally planned.
