Painstaking
approach
With a testing schedule designed to ease certification and
the extensive use of relatively new materials, GE Aviation
has left little to chance with its Boeing 777X powerplant
STEPHEN TRIMBLE WASHINGTON DC
G
E Aviation has spent six years design-
ing, testing and tweaking the engine
now officially dubbed the GE9X-
105B1 for Boeing’s 777X family.
Two years were spent maturing the tech-
nology at the component level while fight-
ing off a competing bid from the Rolls-
Royce RB3025 to re-engine the widebody
twinjet. Another four years have been spent
steadily making progress since Boeing’s
selection in 2013 of GE’s turbofan with a
then-3.37m (133in) diameter fan; tests have
moved from components up to modules,
modules up to full rigs of the core and low-
pressure section. Finally, the first full en-

gine – with a fan diameter slightly enlarged
to 3.4m – was sent into developmental test-
ing last year.
With the second GE9X engine now com-
missioned at GE’s Peebles Test Operation
(PTO) in Ohio, GE is finally beginning to find
out how much that investment in six years of
preparation was worth. Unlike the first
engine to test (FETT), which was devoted to
discovering any flaws in the original design,
the second engine to test (SETT) represents
the version that GE believes is ready to
qualify for airworthiness certification at the
engine level.
Boeing expects to start flying a GE9X-
105B1 on the first 777-9 next year, but GE
plans to continue a battery of ground and
flight tests on a company-owned 747-100
flying testbed through early 2019, says Ted
Ingling, GE9X general manager at GE Avia-
tion. A total of eight engines will be used in
GE’s engine-level certification activity, in-
cluding the FETT and the SETT power-
plants already commissioned. The one-year
gap between the delivery of the FETT and
SETT was unusually long, but gave GE a
chance to begin certification testing with an
engine that closely matches a future pro-
duction standard.
CERTIFICATION CONFIDENCE
“This approach of separating FETT from
SETT by more than 12 months is a first for
us. It was purposefully implemented to
move through cert more confidently and
with a stable configuration,” Ingling says.
“Following those FETT tests, we are very
happy with the way the engine is set after
analysing the interaction of all the compo-
nents. When we develop a product, we start
with small parts and move to subassemblies
and then to modules. The FETT engine is the
first time we brought all of our analytical un-
derstanding of the engine to reality. The en-
gine performed exactly as we expected.”
Boeing expects to start flying the
new engine on the 777-9 next year
Of course, one of GE’s expectations for the
FETT was to identify any flaws that must be
corrected before certification testing, when
any tweaks would require costly rounds of
re-testing. In a year-long series of tests with
162 cycles in 168h to cover more than 50 test
points, GE found about five or six “minor”
problems with the FETT configuration – for
example, the cooling system for lube units.
“We found the amount of heat we were
picking up and the amount of heat we were
discharging was more than capable to this
system, so were able to simplify the engine
relative to the amount of coolers we had.
That’s a great development – it’s a byproduct
of the time, money and execution we’ve put
into this programme upfront, to achieve a
stable configuration heading into certification
testing,” Ingling says.
“We also took our first look at operational
clearances across the engine and as a result
have modified our build procedures to tune
the engine to meet design intent,” Ingling adds.
The FETT testing spanned nearly 12
flightglobal.com
months, creating data on aerodynamic and
aero thermal testing, as well as mechanical
verification.
After a first round of testing that conclud-
ed last summer, GE launched a second
round of testing in December devoted to ex-
amining how the engine handles in icing
conditions.
“We are very happy with the
way the engine is set after
analysing the interaction of all
the components”
Ted Ingling
GE9X general manager, GE Aviation
“Icing tests are hard to predict. We have
found that testing the system with a real
engine can yield valuable learnings and thus
reduce risk,” Ingling says. “The FETT
performed outstandingly during these icing
tests. We went through more than 50 test

points to evaluate the conditions that are
created by the agencies to clear cold and
operational icing conditions.”
The GE9X’s testing is covering new ground.
GE designed the engine to reduce fuel burn by
10% compared with the GE90, the engine
that powers the original series of 777 wide-
bodies, which were introduced in 1995. To
achieve this improvement, GE largely
retained the architecture of the GE90, but
refreshed the design with a suite of new tech-
nologies far beyond the state-of-the-art
available to GE90 designers 25 years ago.
The 130in fan diameter of the GE90 left
little room for improving the bypass ratio,
the measure of air passing around the core
that generates the majority of, and most effi-
cient, thrust. Instead, GE focused on improv-
ing the pressure ratio by focusing on the
GE9X core: the high-pressure compressor,
combustor and high-pressure turbine.
Whereas the GE90 series was configured for
either nine or 10 stages of compression, a
compressor pressure ratio of 19 and an
overall pressure ratio of 40, the GE9X high-
pressure compressor features 11 states, a
compressor ratio of 27 and an overall pres-
sure ratio of about 60. The GE90 debuted in
1995 with the last iteration of dual annular
combustor technology, but GEnx is designed
with a third-generation, twin-annular pre-
swirl (TAPS) combustor.
New materials will also play a major role in
GE’s certification drive for the GE9X. Like
many technologies in GE9X, GE started
applying new materials in preceding engines.
Ceramic matrix composites, for example, are
used in the hottest part of the CFM Interna-
tional Leap engine, which is produced by a
joint venture of GE and Safran (formerly
Snecma). CMCs are a blend of ceramic fibres
in a ceramic matrix. The combination
produces a material lighter than metal that
can endure hotter temperatures.
Although not introduced first on the GE9X,
the 777X powerplant dramatically expands
the application of CMCs in turbine engines
beyond the stage 2 turbine shroud in the Leap
engine. The GE9X features CMCs in two com-
bustor liners, two nozzles and the shroud. In
2013, GE considered applying CMCs to the
first-stage turbine blades, where they are
subjected to extremely high thermal and
centrifugal forces, but decided to wait for
another iteration of the technology.
ENDURANCE TESTING
In addition to the FETT engine, GE has sub-
jected the CMCs to a battery of endurance
testing in another representative engine.
A company-owned GEnx engine, which
powers the Boeing 747-8 and 787, was fitted
with the CMC parts destined for the GE9X
over two extended series of tests totalling
4,600 cycles. Future endurance tests of the
CMC materials will be completed on the
GE9X engine, Ingling says.
After producing eight engines to support
the engine certification programme, another
eight GE9X units will be delivered to Boeing
to support flight testing of the 777-9 in 2018
and 2019. The ramp-up for production
engines will begin in two years, followed by
entry into service in 2020. Boeing has secured
more than 300 orders for the 777X family, a
respectable number for a widebody three
years from entry into service. Meanwhile,
CFM is evaluating the GE9X supply chain,
with an eye to finding multiple suppliers for
the same component.
“The CFM team has benefited by sourcing
from multiple suppliers; the GE9X supply
chain team is working to ensure we have the
correct sources for different production
pieces,” Ingling says. “We are considering
dual sourcing for some hardware and a rigor-
ous quality inspection programme to miti-
gate risk.” ■

Gearing up
Rolls-Royce has mapped out its engine development
programme to 2025, and begun testing the gearbox that
will be at the heart of its new, more efficient turbofans
Composite fan blades were first test-
flown in 2014, from Tucson, Arizona
MICHAEL GUBISCH BERLIN
I 
n the flat, sandy landscape on the southern
outskirts of Berlin, preparations are under
way to start by mid-year full-scale testing of
the gearbox that is to become a central part of
Rolls-Royce’s future commercial engine family.
At Dahlewitz, near the German capital’s still-
to-open Brandenburg airport, the manufacturer
has built a €65 million ($69 million) test facility
for the gearbox, which is being developed
under R-R’s UltraFan programme in partner-
ship with engineering group Liebherr.
UltraFan represents a second stage in R-R’s
future technology programme, with the first –
dubbed Advance – concentrating on the devel-
opment of a new, more thermally efficient en-
gine core. Advance is intended to deliver
efficiency gains of 20% – versus today’s Trent
700 – in a conventional turbofan architecture
from 2020, while for UltraFan the target is a fur-
ther 5% for engines after 2025, to be achieved
by decoupling the fan from the core, as in Pratt
& Whitney’s PW1000G geared turbofan.
38 | Flight International | 30 May-5 June 2017
14 | FlightGlobal
Advance and UltraFan are both demonstra-
tor projects aimed at maturing technology for
potential future engine programmes; flight test-
ing of composite fan blades began in 2014,
using a Boeing 747 testbed.
Rather than following P&W’s approach of in-
troducing a gearbox in a medium-thrust range
– the PW1000G family spans engines of
13,000-35,000lb-thrust (58-156kN) – R-R opted
to develop its gearbox for large powerplants of
more than 70,000lb thrust. This is no surprise,
as the UK manufacturer’s current commercial
engine models are all in the high-thrust seg-
ment. But its chief engineer of civil aerospace
strategy and future programmes, Phil Curnock,
also says it will be easier to scale down the gear-
box to smaller engines than go in the opposite
direction at a later stage.
FLOW MOTION
Testing of the gearbox began in September 2016
on an attitude test rig that is installed on a gim-
bal to simulate an aircraft’s pitch and roll move-
ments. This is aimed, in particular, at assessing
Rolls-Royce
oil flow – crucial for both lubrication and heat
absorption – in different phases of flight. While
the rig can simulate conditions of the engine
operating or windmilling up to 30,000ft, the set-
up cannot represent torque inside the engine.
This will be assessed on a power rig in a dedi-
cated part of the test facility.
While the planetary gearbox has an approxi-
mately 80cm (31.5in) diameter and weighs a
few hundred kilogrammes, it has been de-
signed to transfer power up to 75,000kW
(100,000hp). Mike Whitehead, the chief engi-
neer and programme head for UltraFan tech-
nologies, likens the energy that is being trans-
ferred between two gear-teeth to the power of
an entire race group of Formula 1 cars.
To absorb vibrations during the testing, the
power rig has been installed on top of a 2,400t
concrete block that rests on more than 700 ad-
justable steel springs. The rig will be driven by
two electric motors which transfer their power
through a system of gearboxes and linkages – in
principle similar to a car’s rear wheels being ex-
ternally rotated in order to turn, via the differ-
flightglobal.com
ential, gearbox and engine. That arrangement,
Whitehead explains, allows the manufacturer
to modulate shaft speeds and torque in order to
simulate gearbox conditions in different flight
scenarios. The power rig has been additionally
equipped with actuators to simulate stresses on
the aero engine’s shaft and gearbox when the
aircraft pitches up at full power during take-off.
BIG OIL
R-R declined to reveal oil volume and tempera-
ture in the UltraFan gearbox. But the manufac-
turer indicates that the oil flow circulating
through the power rig at full operation – utilis-
ing shipping container-sized cooling systems
outside the test facility – is “in the order of
swimming pools”.
Developing an oil system for the gearbox is
one of the central challenges in the UltraFan
programme, says Curnock. Much of the test
programme is directed at “really understanding
heat management” inside the gearbox across a
range of thrust settings and atmospheric condi-
tions, he says. Oil needs to be sprayed around
the gears for lubrication and heat absorption
but must also be reliably extracted in order to be
cooled. “We need to get oil in and, crucially, out
again,” he notes. Whether the gearbox will be
included in the engine core’s oil circulation or
have its own separate subsystem has not been
decided yet, says Whitehead.
R-R opted to design its gearbox with a sta-
tionary ring-gear – unlike P&W’s – and five
planet gears revolving around the central, tur-
bine-powered sun gear. Thus, the planet gears’
movement drives the fan, while in P&W’s star-
gear design the five planets are stationary and
the ring gear drives the fan. Curnock says R-R’s
configuration achieves a higher reduction ratio
– if the gears were to have the same dimensions
as a P&W-style system – and it ensures that the
fan and turbine turn in the same direction.
Liebherr has been chosen as partner because
of its experience in manufacturing gearboxes
for a range of applications, including cranes
and helicopters, says Whitehead. R-R and
Rolls-Royce

commercial engines 2017
New gearbox, which could be scaled down later, should be getting airborne by 2021
Liebherr established a jointly-owned subsidi-
ary, Aerospace Transmission Technologies, to
develop the gearbox. Whitehead adds that a
key reason for the Swiss-headquartered engi-
neering group’s selection was its capability to
manufacture its own gear-grinding machinery.
Liebherr has a tradition of producing core
equipment in-house, rather than relying on ex-
ternal suppliers.
R-R intends to test-fly the gearbox in a dem-
onstrator engine by 2021. Once the technology
becomes available, Curnock says it will enable
it to build larger, more efficient fans, while the
core can be optimised for greater thermal effi-
ciency. The decoupling of the turbine and fan
allows the core to operate at high speed and
high temperature, while the fan can turn at
slower speed for greater propulsive efficiency.
R-R’s configuration achieves
a higher reduction ratio and
ensures that fan and turbine
turn in the same direction
Already for the next turbofan generation –
based on the Advance technology programme
– R-R intends to use a composite fan and fan
case. In 2008, the manufacturer established
with GKN Aerospace a joint venture at that UK
company’s facility on the Isle of Wight, to de-
velop production processes for the fabrication
of composite fan blades. R-R has since become
the sole shareholder of that entity, and has de-
cided to move the operations to its Bristol site
by the end of 2017.
Meanwhile, ground tests with an Advance
core demonstrator are set to begin in Derby
around mid-year, says Curnock. That “Ad-
vance 3” demonstrator comprises a four-stage
intermediate-pressure compressor (IPC), 10-
stage high-pressure compressor (HPC), two-
ROLLS-ROYCE
Rolls-Royce
stage high-pressure turbine (HPT) and one-
stage intermediate-pressure turbine (IPT).
DUAL FUEL
The demonstrator will be operated with a Trent
XWB fan and Trent 1000 low-pressure turbine.
It will also include a lean-burn combustor that
features two separate fuel-flow systems to pro-
vide maximum thrust when high power is re-
quired, and a more efficient combustion pro-
cess during cruise. While the principle of
having two fuel-flow systems is established,
Curnock says integration of such an arrange-
ment into an engine is a challenge. The com-
bustor will be separately assessed in a Trent
1000 engine for a series of ground tests – in-
cluding cold temperature trials in Canada – be-
fore flight tests begin in 2018.
In the hot section, R-R intends to start em-
ploying ceramic matrix composites (CMC) for
seal segments. Curnock says their use will be
gradually expanded, first to stationary turbine
vanes and eventually also to blades. A CMC re-
search and development facility was formally
opened in California in 2016.
While the Advance programme still envi-
sions an engine with a typical Trent-style three-
shaft architecture, with UltraFan R-R will re-
move the low-pressure turbine altogether and
power the fan with a multiple-stage IPT. But the
IPC, HPC and combustor will be identical to
those in the Advance core and the HPT will re-
quire “minimal” change, R-R says.
Asked whether the manufacturer is adopt-
ing a two-shaft architecture, Curnock insists
that the future engine series will still have
three shafts. However, he acknowledges: “The
front one is quite short”.
But he argues that the core technology is
rooted in the manufacturer’s Trent architec-
ture, with the future IPT operating at higher
speed and temperature, as well as being more
compact than a conventional low-pressure
turbine. ■

CFM in talks over MoM engines
Published on 26 April 2017
News from
CFM International is in talks with Boeing potentially to
supply engines for the latter’s as-yet unlaunched middle-
of-the-market (MoM) development, but will not propose a
version of its Leap powerplant for any such application.
Philippe Petitcolin, chief executive of Safran – a partner in
CFM with GE Aviation – confirmed, on a first-quarter results
call, that it was “in discussions” with the airframer about the
MoM project.
According to data supplied by Boeing, the potential aircraft
would require an engine of 40,000-50,000lb-thrust (178-
222kN), says Petitcolin.
Although that falls within the scope of the CFM joint
venture – which covers engines from 18,000-50,000lb-thrust
– Petitcolin stresses that it will not offer a new variant of the
Safran backs 3D printing
Published on 26 April 2017
Safran is reinforcing its advanced materials capabilities
by acquiring a shareholding in French-based 3D-printing
specialist Prodways Group.
Prodways is active in several sectors within the 3D printing
market, including aerospace, and has noted the potential of
such programmes as the CFM International Leap engine, for
which 3D-printed fuel nozzles have been developed.
Safran’s corporate ventures division is subscribing to
convertible bonds ahead of Prodways’ planned listing on
Paris’s Euronext stock exchange. The aerospace firm is
subscribing in co-operation with investors Fimalac and BNPP
and the three are also to participate – along with financial
firms Bpifrance and Financiere Arbevel – in a capital increase
for Prodways.
The two sides are entering a technological collaboration
as part of the tie-up, which will focus on development of
printable materials and assembly processes.

Leap which already powers the 737 Max.
“It will not be a Leap, it will be a different engine,” says
Petitcolin. “The Leap does not have the thrust required for
such a power [class].”
The most powerful variant of the Leap produced to date, a
-1A for the Airbus A321neo, is rated at 31,160lb thrust.
So far, detail on Boeing’s MoM proposals has been scarce,
but indications are that it will be a family of two widebody
aircraft, able to accommodate up to about 220 passengers
and fly between 4,500-6,000nm (8,330-11,100km).
CFM is likely to face competition from Pratt & Whitney and
Rolls-Royce to power the new aircraft.
Safran says the companies could also sign “specific
contracts” in such areas as casting, metallic parts produced
by indirect manufacturing, and high-temperature polymer
powders for composites.
The non-exclusive pact will run for five years, it adds.
“Through this agreement, the two companies will be able
to pool their skills to effectively transform the technology
building blocks offered by Prodways into additive
manufacturing processes for Safran products,” says Safran
executive vice-president for research and technology
Stephane Cueille.
Prodways says it has “core expertise” in designing machines,
materials and parts for industrialised rapid-manufacture 3D
printing. It estimates the 3D printing market will be worth
$25 billion by 2021.
Leap as quiet as PW1100G
Published on 14 April 2017
Updated European certification data has confirmed that
the noise level of the CFM International Leap-1A engine is
comparable to that of the rival Pratt & Whitney PW1100G.
The European Aviation Safety Agency type certificate data
sheet for noise has been revised with the latest measurements
following the authority’s approval of the Leap-powered
Airbus A321neo.
EASA gives a figure of 83.3dB for flyover noise – compared
with 85.2dB for the PW1100G – for the current highest-
A320neo deliveries overview
Published on 6 March 2017
As of March, Airbus’s A320neo deliveries have been equally
split between the type’s two engine manufacturers.
The airframer handed over 12 A320neos in February, and a
pair in January, bringing the in-service fleet to 82, of which
56% are fitted with the Pratt & Whitney PW1100G engine.
Airbus’s deliveries in February included six CFM Leap-
powered aircraft to Air India, Citilink, SriLankan Airlines,
Frontier Airlines and Avianca Brazil – with all but the Frontier
aircraft handed over via lessors.
The other six A320neos were delivered with PW1100G
A320neo unaffected by 737 Max grounding
Published on 10 May 2017
An engine problem that has grounded the Boeing 737
Max test fleet had no effect on Airbus A320neo family
aircraft powered a different version of the powerplant, CFM
International confirmed in May.
Though sharing a common overall architecture, the Leap-1A
powering the A320neo family uses a different part design

Pratt & Whitney has rolled all commercial aircraft engine
aftermarket services into a single brand called EngineWise

in Orlando.
The move consolidates under an “overarching brand”

pw1100G’s durability problems
Published on 26 April 2017
Pratt & Whitney is close to resolving one of the two ongoing
durability problems facing the PW1100G geared turbofan
engines powering Airbus A320neos, the parent company
United Technologies (UTC) says on 26 April.
The European Union approved an improvement package for
the carbon air seal in the No. 3 bearing of the PW1100G in
mid-April, says UTC chief executive Greg Hayes.
The package is installed during a 4-5h retrofit period, usually
as the aircraft is parked overnight, he says.
About 25% of the 100 engines in service today with 13
operators have already received the retrofit, and the
remainder of the fleet should be fixed by mid-May, Hayes
says.

companywide coherence, she adds.
“EngineWise better represents what we offer, and how we’re
evolving to improve the predictability, reliability and health
of our customer fleets,” says P&W president of commercial
engines Chris Calio in a release.
The EngineWise brand, which became effective on 25 April,
encompasses P&W’s flight-hour-based fleet management
agreements, engine overhaul services, parts management
services, data analysis operations and predictive maintenance
capabilities, says P&W.
The PW1100G also needs a new combustor liner to achieve
service-life targets. An improved combustor liner should be
rolled-out to the fleet in the fourth quarter, he adds.
Meanwhile, P&W will continue investing in endurance
testing on the geared turbofan to find any other problems
with component durability, he says.
So far, the family of geared turbofans have accumulated
more than 150,000 hours in flight, and P&W has not seen
any other new problems appear, he says.
P&W remains on track to deliver 350-400 geared turbofan
engines this year, of which about 50 will be set aside as
spares to help customers complete the durability retrofits.
gearbox issue on PW1100G
Published on 3 March 2017
In March, India’s Directorate General of Civil Aviation
(DGCA) identified the first known incident involving the
gearbox of the PW1100G geared turbofan engine on the
Airbus A320neo.
A “main gearbox failure” caused one of 42 premature engine
removals so far of PW1100G-powered A320neos, according
to the DGCA. The failure was “detected as a metal chip
warning”.
The new issue was revealed in a one-page brief about the
PW1100G engine posted on Twitterby Tarun Shukla, an
Indian journalist for Mint, the financial newspaper of the
Hindustan Times. A DGCA spokesperson provided Shukla
with the document, Shukla confirmed to FlightGlobal.
The document also described another 41 premature engine
removals caused by two known issues with the PW1100G,
including 28 attributed to distress in a carbon-air seal for
the No. 3 bearing and 13 caused by degraded combustion
chambers.
DGCA released the brief as it continues to investigate the
root cause of an in-flight shutdown of a GoAir A320neo with
PW1100G engines on 8 February.
The incident prompted the DGCA to order India’s two
A320neo operators — GoAir and IndiGo — to conduct

The aircraft was operating flight 1579 from Newark to San
Francisco when the incident happened.
The airline says that during taxiing, the tower notified
the crew of “what appeared to be flames from one of its

borescope inspections on engines with more than 1,000 flight
hours, a reduction from the 1,500h interval recommended by
P&W. DGCA also orders airlines to immediately ground the
A320neo if a metal chip detection warning coincides with a
gearbox failure, revoking a 10 flight-hour cushion provided
in the A320neo’s approved minimum equipment list.
Despite the string of incidents that has dogged the PW1100G
fleet since entry into service in January 2015, P&W officials
have insisted the geared turbofan architecture, which
includes the 30,000hp-rated fan drive gear system, remains
sound as it deals with carbon-air seal and combustion
chamber problems. The company didn’t step back from that
claim in a statement to FlightGlobal addressing the findings
in the DGCA document.
“Pratt & Whitney, with the support of Airbus, is in close
contact with the Indian authorities to address technical issues
and provide solutions in a timely manner. We are actively
working with our customers in India and are supporting
them in their daily operations,” P&W said.
The DGCA brief on the PW1100G reports that P&W plans
to deliver a fix for the degraded combustion chamber in
September. A planned fix for the carbon-air seal around
the No. 3 bearing should be ready by April, the brief
suggested.

GTF 2017 delivery targets
Published on 22 February 2017
News from
Pratt & Whitney has an internal plan to exceed delivery
targets for the geared turbofan (GTF) engine family this
year after falling short of the objective in 2016, says chief
executive Greg Hayes of P&W parent United Technologies.
The internal plan would have P&W deliver more GTF
engines to the Airbus A320neo and Bombardier CSeries
assembly lines than the 350-400 in the publicly released
target, Hayes told the Barclay’s Select Industrials conference
on 22 February.
“I’m highly confident we’ll get behind” the parts shortages
that caused P&W to fall short of delivery targets last year,
Hayes says.
P&W built 165 of the 200 engines planned in the 2016
production ramp-up, but only delivered 138 to customers.
The 27 undelivered engines lacked fan blades, as P&W
grappled with learning how to make the unique hybrid-
metallic components fast enough, he adds.
Japanese supplier IHI opened a second factory to produce
GTF fan blades in December and began ramping up
production in January, Hayes says. A third fan blade factory
will open in April when P&W launches a new facility in Lansing,
Michigan. Combined, the three sites should create enough
production capacity to meet or even exceed delivery targets
this year, Hayes says.
The production ramp-up is only one of the near-term
challenges P&W is facing as it introduces its first new
commercial turbofan engine since the short-lived PW6000
in the late-1990s.
Financially, the GTF production ramp-up is expected to be a
major drag on P&W’s balance sheet. The company expects
20 | FlightGlobal
to lose $1 billion overall on 350-400 engine deliveries this
year, meaning an average loss of $2.86-$2.5 million per
engine. As production rises further the following year, the
average loss for each engine delivery should decline to less
than $2 million. But the increasing rate of deliveries will lead
to a $1.1 billion operating loss on the GTF programme in
2018, Hayes says.
By the end of the decade, P&W expects to be delivering
GTF engines at a rate of 1,000 per year, while earning a profit
on average for each delivery, Hayes says.
As one of two engines offered for the A320neo and Irkut
MC-21 and the exclusive option on the CSeries, Embraer
E-Jet E2 and Mitsubishi Regional jet, P&W has collected
firm orders for more than 8,000 engines since launching the
programme in 2008.
But the engine’s popularity has suffered a bit since the
A320neo entered service in January 2016 due to two durability
problems. The combustor liner and a carbon air-seal inside
the GTF is proving less durable than P&W promised. As a
result, the airlines operating 40 GTF-powered A320neos and
eight CSeries aircraft so far have had to ground some aircraft
temporarily to install new combustor liners. P&W also plans
to roll-out a fix for the carbon air-seal problem later this year,
causing another round of engine removals across an even
larger operating fleet.
“The combustor life has not been what we expected, the
carbon seal is not what we expected. We’ve got a lot of
removals. Customers are not happy. We are not happy,”
Hayes says. “But we’re going to deliver on those engines
and this is going to be a great programme for the next 30
years.”
GE9X to be overhauled in Wales
Published on 2 March 2017
General Electric’s overhaul shop in Wales is being prepared
to service GE9X engines.
The Welsh government, confirming a £20 million ($25
million) investment of which it is contributing £5 million, says
maintenance and repair of the GE9X “will safeguard over
400 jobs” at the facility in Nantgarw, near Cardiff. The GE9X
is to power the in-development Boeing 777X.
Recruitment is under way to ensure that the site can “support

FAA calls for frequent GE90 checks
Published on 13 April 2017
The US Federal Aviation Administration has ordered airlines
to perform additional inspections of General Electric GE90
engines – the agency’s latest response to a 2015 Boeing 777-
200 uncontained engine failure.
Operators must now perform ongoing on-wing ultrasonic
inspections (USI) of the engines’ high-pressure compressor
(HPC) Stage 8 web, says an airworthiness directive (AD)
made public on 13 April.
Those inspections must commence following an initial
ultrasonic inspection at 8,000 cycles.
The AD replaces a June 2016 order in which the FAA required
inspections after 8,000 cycles and during subsequent shop
visits -- but not the 500-cycle checks.
“This AD was prompted by analysis that the risk of the failure
of an HPC Stage 8-10 spool was excessive without repetitive
USI prior to shop visit,” says the directive.
GE tells FlightGlobal it “is working closely with airline
operators and the FAA to ensure the rarity of such an
event”.
“The AD is heavily influenced by GE’s engagement,” the
company adds. “The GE90 fleet has an outstanding history
of reliability, and the Las Vegas event is unique to the GE90
engine fleet over the course of its more than 20 years of
operational history.”
The order, which takes effect in 36 days, applies to five series
of GE90 engines: GE90-76B, GE90-77B, GE90-85B, GE90-

Today, the overhaul shop supports GE90s, CFM International

Support of the Rolls-Royce engine is a legacy of the site’s
previous ownership by British Airways. GE still services that

90B and GE90-94B, says the FAA.
Only United Airlines in the USA operates those series GE90s;
it has 22 777-200s with the engines, according to Flight
Fleets Analyzer.
The FAA’s order follows the 8 September 2015 uncontained
failure of a GE90-85B on a British Airways 777-200 during
takeoff from Las Vegas McCarran International airport.
The failure caused a fire, the pilots aborted takeoff and
passengers evacuated.
Safety investigators determined the explosion resulted
from a fracture that began in the Stage 8 disk web of the
high-pressure compressor section. The disk web, which lies
between each of the 10 stages of compressor disks, connects
the disk post to the disk core.
The engine “experienced an uncontained failure of the HPC
8-10 spool that led to extensive fire damage to the airplane”,
according to documents made public by the FAA.
During a discussion with FAA officials in April 2016, GE staff
said they could not rule out that an earlier manufacturing
process contributed to the failure, a document says.
That process, GE told the FAA, changed in 2001.
“The inclusion of this manufacturing process as a potential
cause makes all parts manufactured to this process suspect
and potentially at higher risk of failure,” FAA documents
say.

GE90’s heat exchangers
Published on 14 April 2017
News from
The US Federal Aviation Administration has issued another
airworthiness directive (AD) related to General Electric GE90
engines.
The new directive, which comes one day after the agency
ordered airlines to conduct ongoing GE90 ultrasonic
inspections, requires airlines to replace fuel oil heat
exchangers in certain GE90 powerplants.
The AD gives airlines 12 months to replace the heat
exchangers in GE90-76B, GE90-85B, GE90-90B, GE90-94B,
GE90-110B1 and GE90-115B series engines, according to
the AD.
US airlines operate 185 such engines, says the order.
American Airlines, Delta Air Lines and United Airlines
operate Boeing 777-200s and 777-300s with those series
GE90s, according to Flight Fleets Analyzer.
“We are issuing this AD to prevent failure of a main fuel oil
heat exchanger, which could result in an engine fire,” the
document says.
The AD enforces a GE service bulletin that has been effective
22 | FlightGlobal
for many months, GE tells FlightGlobal.
“The vast majority of the suspect GE90 population has
undergone the inspection and modification of the heat
exchanger. Only 35 heat exchangers remain to be addressed
by the AD. The fleet will be completed in a matter of weeks,”
GE adds.
In August 2016, Singapore’s Air Accident Investigation
Bureau linked a Singapore Airlines 777-300ER engine fire
to a crack in a tube inside a GE90-115BL main fuel heat
exchanger.
Investigators found fuel in the engine’s oil system, the
agency said.
The latest directive comes one day after the release of an
AD requiring airlines to perform ongoing on-wing ultrasonic
inspections of components in the high pressure compressors
of several series of GE90s.
That order followed the September 2015 uncontained failure
of a GE90-85B on a British Airways 777-200 during takeoff
from Las Vegas.
GE’s supersonic engine study
Published on 22 May 2017
GE Aviation will partner with Aerion to design a supersonic
engine that could power the AS2 business jet, meet stricter
community noise regulations and potentially serve as a
gateway to a commercial supersonic transport.
The agreement signed within the past month commits GE
to define an engine that could meet the supersonic AS2’s
requirements, but stops short of a pledge to continue the
effort into testing and production, says Brad Mottier, vice-
president and general manager for GE Business and General
Aviation & Integrated Services.
But GE’s interest in the project is sincere after spending
two years in discussion with Aerion over a wide range of
propulsion concepts for the AS2, Mottier says, addressing a
press conference on the eve of the EBACE convention.

that Aerion’s vision for the AS2’s supersonic technology
extends to the commercial market, which has lacked an
aircraft with the capability to exceed the speed of sound
since the retirement of the Aerospatiale/BAC Concorde in
2003.
Aerion has been searching for a new engine partner since
scrapping an initial design for a supersonic twinjet in 2014,
when new community take-off noise regulations that take
effect this year ruled out the company’s original selection
of Pratt & Whitney JT8D engines. The AS2 concept was
unveiled as a trijet with 4,800nm range at long-range cruise
speed.
The aircraft should be capable of Mach 1.4 flight, but a
US ban on breaking the sound barrier will restrict the top
speed to M0.95 over land. In Europe, aircraft are restricted
from creating a sonic boom, which may allow the AS2 more
flexibility. Aerion claims the AS2’s sonic boom will not be
detectable on the ground below M1.2 due to atmospheric
diffraction.
Featuring a supersonic natural laminar flow wing, the AS2 is
designed to cruise efficiently at M0.95 and M1.4.

Rolls-Royce’s output
Published on 14 February 2017
News from
Rolls-Royce has secured capacity to delivery around 500
large engines this year, having increased output by 15% to
some 355 in 2016.
It disclosed its readiness as it revealed that underlying
revenues for large engine supply, centred on the Trent
family, increased by 2% last year to £1.6 billion, although
overall underlying civil aerospace profit more than halved
to £367 million.
The production revenue rise resulted from higher volumes
of Trent 900s for the Airbus A380 as well as spare Trent XWBs
for the A350, partly offset by falling demand for the Trent
700s on the A330.
But service revenues for the large-engine sector fell by 4%
to £2.3 billion, despite strong growth from in-production
engines – growth which had offset the reduction from older
powerplants.
Rolls-Royce says fewer overhauls across the out-of-
production fleet meant time-and-material revenues reduced,
and contract accounting effects in the service revenues
were significantly lower, resulting in the overall decline. The
manufacturer says large engine service revenues would have
risen 2% but for the accounting effects.
Fire damages Rolls-Royce plant
Published on 23 May 2017
Operations have been disrupted by a fire at a Rolls-Royce

Transition to the Airbus A320neo meant original equipment
revenue arising from the International Aero Engines V2500
programme slipped by 10%, although service revenues were

The company, in its full-year financial statement, says
business aviation engine sales were down 25%, a decline it
had forecast as a result of market weakness and a shift to
newer aircraft not fitted with its engines.
Rolls-Royce predicts that its civil aerospace arm will deliver
“modest” revenue growth this year, backed by aftermarket
business for large engines, but business-jet revenues will
weaken further.
Near-term uncertainty is affecting production volumes and
older engine service activity, the company says, but positive
long-term trends “remain unchanged”.

demand – driven by the need for newer, more fuel efficient
aircraft – should provide resilience to manufacturing

Bombardier
CSeries’ reliability
Published on 28 April 2017
The ten Bombardier CSeries in revenue service have logged
some 5,000 revenue flights and are performing at dispatch
reliability rates “around” 99%, said Bombardier vice-
president of customer services Todd Young in April.
Young declined to disclose a specific reliability rate, citing a
relative small volume of available data, but said Bombardier
continued to address early issues that had caused scheduled
disruptions.
Those included a proliferation of so-called “nuisance
messages”, which are cockpit status messages that, while
benign, distract crew and must be resolved.
“It’s not surprising that there are some nuisance messages,”
said Young, noting the issues related to the aircraft’s Rockwell
Collins avionics. “Swiss, being able to operate the aircraft
without any [schedule disruptions] for many, many days, is a
testament that these are minor nuisances.”
Swiss senior director and CSeries fleet chief Peter Koch
noted the nuisance messages to FlightGlobal in 2016. Still,
he said Swiss’ CSeries fleet – then just three CS100s – had
performed better during entry-into-service than expected.
Bombardier delivered seven CSeries in 2016, including five
CS100s to Swiss and two CS300s to Air Baltic. To date in
2017, it has delivered three CSeries, including two Swiss
CS100s and one Air Baltic CS300, according to Flight Fleets
Analyzer.
That is a slow start in a year where Bombardier predicts it will
deliver 30 to 35 CSeries.
commercial engines 2017

Deliveries have slowed due to issues suffered by engine
supplier Pratt & Whitney, which has struggled to ramp up
manufacturing of the hybrid-metallic fan blades in its geared
turbofans.
In March, Bombardier chief executive Alain Bellemare told
FlightGlobal that Bombardier would use the slowdown
to refine its own production system and make CSeries
upgrades, though he did not provide details.
Young likewise didn’t elaborate.
“That slow down period – we took advantage of that and
added additional upgrades to the aircraft,” he said.
“They were quite varying across the aircraft itself,” Young
added of improvements. “It wasn’t specific to one system.
It just made sense.”
Bombardier is now “fully engulfed” in entry-into-service

delivery of its first CS100 in 2018.
The Atlanta-based carrier has orders for 75 of the aircraft,
with deliveries scheduled through 2021, according to Fleets
Analyzer.
Bombardier will ramp up entry-into-service planning with Air
Canada later this year and into early 2018, Young said.

CSeries engine checks
Published on 28 April 2017
News from
In April, the two airlines operating Bombardier CSeries
have performed precautionary borescope inspections of
the aircraft’s Pratt & Whitney PW1500G geared turbofans –
checks that follow reports of issues with related PW1100G
engines, Bombardier confirms.
The PW1500G inspections were purely preventative, and
no problems have been found with PW1500Gs, Bombardier
said.
“As a cautionary measure, operators are conducting
planned preventive maintenance, such as borescope engine
inspections, on aircraft equipped with the PW1500 engine,”
Bombardier told FlightGlobal. “These inspections are being
conducted on the PW1500 earlier than planned based on
the learning from the PW1100.”
“We have had no issue with the PW1500,” Bombardier
added. “We are pleased with the CSeries entry-into-service
experience and engine performance.” P&W confirmed the
new PW1500G inspections.
“In order to maintain the high performance of this engine,
Pratt & Whitney has added a combustor lining inspection
to its regular scheduled maintenance,” the company said
without elaborating about the checks.
The inspections come as both Bombardier and P&W seeked
to smooth wrinkles that have delayed deliveries of their
most-prominent products. New issues with P&W’s geared
turbofans surfaced after the crew of a GoAir A320neo shut
down a PW1100G in-flight on 8 February.
The engine had caught fire, which investigators traced
to “rubbing and excessive friction” linked to bearings in
rotating sections, according to French investigation agency
BEA, citing information from Indian authorities.
Then in March India’s Directorate General of Civil Aviation
(DGCA) released a report saying several issues led airlines
to prematurely remove 42 PW1100Gs from A320neos. One
of those engines suffered a main gearbox failure, 28 had
distressed carbon-air seals for the No. 3 bearings and 13
suffered degraded combustion chambers, according to the
Indian agency.
DGCA responded to the in-flight shutdown by ordering
Indian’s two A320neo operators – GoAir and IndiGo – to
inspect with borescopes all PW1100Gs with more than 1,000

flight hours, down from the 1,500h interval recommended
by P&W.
Whether PW1100G in-service issues extend to PW1500Gs
remains unclear, but Bombardier said no problems have
surfaced.
“The PW1500 is a different configuration and no incidents
related to the combustor issue have been reported on
Bombardier aircraft,” the company says, noting that normal
new-engine preventative maintenance includes borescope
inspections.
“The CSeries and engine combination was tested much more
extensively than any of our competitors, and the result we
see is a much more mature product in service,” Bombardier
adds. P&W said the 1500G has a 99.9% reliability rate, calling
the engine’s entry into service “better than anticipated”.
In addition to in-service issues, P&W has suffered GTF delivery
delays, which in turn have slowed CSeries deliveries.
In 2016 the Connecticut-based engine maker planned to
build 200 GTFs, but only manufactured 165 engines and
delivered just 138 due to unexpectedly difficult production
of several components, including the GTF’s hybrid metallic
fan blades.
Despite those struggles, P&W executives have said the
company will meet a 350-400 engine target in 2017 thanks
to new factories opening in Japan and Michigan, which are
dedicated to delivering fan blades.
Bombardier cited P&W’s slowdown when announcing
Bombardier’s 2016 CSeries production goal had been cut to
seven from 15 aircraft. The company met the seven-aircraft
goal last year.
Executives in recent weeks have continued to say confidently
that Bombardier will meet a goal of 30 to 35 CSeries deliveries
in 2017. The company, however, has delivered only three
CSeries this year, meaning it must significantly accelerate its
pace to meet the target.
Bombardier delivered its first CSeries of 2017 – a CS100 to
Swiss – in early March, and by the end of March had delivered
another CS100 to Swiss and a CS300 to Air Baltic, according
to Flight Fleets Analyzer.
CSeries delivery pause
Published on 3 March 2017
In March, Bombardier halted deliveries of the CSeries
aircraft for two months to refine the production system and

& Whitney’s geared turbofan engines remains a bottleneck,
chief executive Alain Bellemare told Flightglobal.
The last CSeries aircraft delivered – a CS300 – was delivered
to Air Baltic on 31 December. A month ago, Bombardier
officials said the delivery of the sixth CS100 – and eighth
CSeries overall – to Swiss would occur “shortly”, but the
aircraft remains parked outside the final assembly line in
Mirabel, Canada.
The ongoing delivery hiatus increases pressure on Bombardier
to meet a commitment to ramp CSeries deliveries this year
to 30-35 aircraft, a 428-500% jump compared to the seven
deliveries made last year.
On the sidelines of the US Chamber of Commerce Aviation
Summit on 2 March, Bellemare explained the delivery
stoppage was planned.
“We’re taking advantage of this lateness in engines to
take the opportunity to upgrade the aircraft, upgrade the
assembly line and get ready for more volume,” Bellemare
said.
Bombardier originally planned to deliver 15 CSeries aircraft
in 2016, but in September reduced the forecast to seven
while blaming a shortage of engine deliveries from P&W.
The ramp-up of the P&W’s geared turbofan engine family has
commercial engines 2017
News from
been slowed by a critical shortage of several parts, including
the unique hybrid metallic fan blades. In comments made
last year, United Technologies chief executive Greg Hayes
said the fan blades have proved harder to make than P&W
expected.
But the opening of new fan blade factories in Japan and
Michigan is expected to eliminate the parts shortage,
allowing P&W to meet its goal of delivering 350-400 engines
in 2017. Hayes has explained that about 50 of those engines
will be needed as customer spares. Bombardier will need
at least 60-70 engines to meet its goal of delivering 30-35
aircraft. That leaves 230-290 engines left over for P&W’s
other geared turbofan customers, which includes the Airbus
A320neo now in service and the Embraer E-190-E2 that
remains in testing.
While Bombardier waited for more engines, the company
improved aircraft on the assembly line to avoid taking
delivered units out of service as improved components
become available. Bellemare said.
“Instead of producing aircraft that would actually need a
lot of retrofit in the field, we could manage that because,
like we said, the engine delivery schedule was back-end
loaded,” Bellemare said.
Bellemare described the aircraft and production system
improvements as minor tweaks that fall short of a block-
point upgrade, which is scheduled to come later.

update on the Embraer e2
Published on 27 April 2017
News from
Embraer will mature its E-Jets E2 programme to the point
where newly-delivered aircraft will achieve 99% schedule
reliability during the first year in service, the company’s head
of services and support Johann Bordais tells FlightGlobal.
The 99% figure is a commitment to customers, the company
said – one that comes as other new aircraft programmes
have faced notable delays.
“Within the first 12 months of operation, we want to
guarantee a 99% schedule reliability,” said Bordais during
the MRO Americas conference in Orlando on 26 April. “I
don’t think there is any aircraft manufacturer that has done
this with a programme.”
“We want to stand by our product – on the availability, on
the operational cost – on day one,” Bordais adds.
Embraer clarifies that the 99% figure is a target, not a
contractual obligation.
“Ninety-nine percent is the average of the first year of
operation, which means [rates] can start below this number
and grow throughout the year,” the company said.
Bordais said Embraer is “committed” to achieving the goal
as a means “be different” and to distinguish its E-2 as the
programme shifts from testing to scheduled service.
Embraer
28 | FlightGlobal
Embraer launched the E2 programme at the Paris air show
in 2013, and achieved first flight of the E190-E2 in May 2016,
ahead of schedule.
Four test E190-E2s have completed 650h of flight time, and
the first E190-E2 remains on schedule for delivery to launch
customer Wideroe in the first half of 2018, Bordais said.
Embraer insists, however, it will not deliver aircraft early.
The company will use all available time to mature the
programme, it said.
As Embraer moves forward, other companies have faced
delays.
In January, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries announced that
delivery of its first MRJ90 would be delayed a further two
years until mid-2020 – the fifth time Mitsubishi delayed its
timeline since 2008.
Meanwhile, engine maker Pratt & Whitney has faced delays
in manufacturing its geared turbofans, slowing deliveries of
Bombardier CSeries and Airbus A320neo aircraft.
P&W’s geared turbofans also power E2s, but the Embraer
programme’s later timeline has, for now, shielded Embraer
from similar engine order backlogs.
Embraer and P&W GTF issues
Published on 7 March 2017
Embraer believes its E-Jet E2 will be unaffected by issues
related to the Pratt & Whitney geared turbofan engine
family, when the aircraft enters into service in 2018.
“We don’t expect the issues from the [A320]neo engine
to transfer over and impact the GTF on the E2,” Embraer
commercial aviation president and chief executive John
Slattery tells FlightGlobal in an interview.
He adds: “It’s important to highlight… that the architecture
of the neo engine is somewhat different from the architecture
of the GTF on the E2.”
Slattery, however, says Embraer is working very closely with
Pratt & Whitney and monitoring the performance of the
engine, especially on its rival Bombardier’s CSeries.
The E190-E2 will enter into revenue service in the first half
of 2018.
Saying that Embraer has the advantage of being the
“second mover” in operating the engine, Slattery says: “We
don’t expect the teething problems of the experience on
the neo.”
Embraer warns on E-Jet E2 margins
Published on 2 May 2017
Embraer warned on 2 May that profit margins and deliveries
for commercial aircraft could decline in 2018 as the
manufacturer transitions to a new family of products.
“We may see some lower margins in 2018 or maybe less
aircraft in 2018,” says Embraer president and chief executive
Paulo Cesar Silva told analysts on a first quarter earnings
call.
Embraer delivered 108 E-Jet family aircraft in 2016, but plans
to certificate the re-engined and re-winged E-Jet E2 family
by the end of this year before beginning deliveries in 2018.
As the E-Jet E2 family enters the production system, margins
and deliveries could suffer next year before rebounding in
2019, Silva says.
“From 2019 and on we are already anticipating the margin
will improve again,” he says.
commercial engines 2017
News from
Earlier this month, new problems related to the engine
surfaced when Indian civil aviation regulators identified a
gearbox issue on the PW1100G, one of two engine choices
for the A320neo. An in-flight shutdown of a GoAir A320neo in
February had prompted engine inspections of the A320neo
fleets of GoAir and IndiGo.
Slattery says Embraer is following closely the developments
out of India, adding that the airframer is being “updated on
a daily basis” by Pratt & Whitney on issues related to the
A320neo engine.
He is also confident that the engine manufacturer will
resolve a production short-fall by the time the E2 debuts.
After falling short of engine delivery targets in 2016, Pratt &
Whitney has said it plans to exceed its engine delivery goal
this year as new facilities come online.
“We believe that the manufacturing capacity that Pratt &
Whitney has around the world will address those shortfalls,”
says Slattery. “We don’t expect those manufacturing capacity
issues will exist by early 2018 when the E190-E2 enters into
service.”
The delivery rate for next year could decline, but it remains
too early to predict, he adds.
Embraer launched the E-Jet E2 programme four years
ago, replacing the GE Aviation CF34 turbofan engines with
Pratt & Whitney PW1700G and PW1900G geared turbofan
engines. Embraer also redesigned the wing and integrated
a full fly-by-wire system on the E-Jet E2 family.
The first E-Jet E2 – an E190-E2 – completed first flight last
May and is on track for certification by the end of the year.
Embraer also completed first flight of the first E195-E2 in
March, but the stretched model will be delivered in 2019.
The delivery of the first E175-E2 was previously delayed until
2021, as Embraer waits to see whether US airline unions lift
weight restrictions embedded into scope clause agreements
with major carriers
