Like other suppliers, General Electric and Rolls-Royce, the engine makers for the 787, are making the most of the program delay. For GE, the welcome breathing space gives it a chance to get more weight out of the GEnx-1B engine, improve preparations for full-scale production and perfect design tweaks that otherwise would have been introduced closer to the original in-service target.
Boeing is in the final stages of flight testing an auxiliary fuel tank system that will increase the range of the 777-200LR to its maximum design limit of up to 9,450 naut. mi., fulfilling development ambitions for the twinjet that were originally put on hold amid market doldrums in mid-2004.
International Aero Engines (IAE) is analyzing performance data from just-completed V2500 SelectOne engine flight tests, which show early indications of fuel-burn reductions and temperature margins greater than predicted for the improved propulsion system, the company says.
