I sat down with a CFM official Wednesday (Feb. 8) and got a briefing of the LEAP-MAX design and will be publishing more as I get my notes together.Scott Hamiltonhttp://www.leehamnew.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8118460937928958757.post-50698020980033679882012-02-09T06:02:21.821-05:002012-02-09T06:02:21.821-05:00I think many narrowbody operators looking ahead 20...I think many narrowbody operators looking ahead 20 yrs at some point get to see the GTF powered A321NEO datasheet. And have a second look. <br /><br />Airbus seems to promise a real mean machine. Significantly larger, more efficient, comfortable, silent, container capable and spacier then it’s closest rivals. Still fully A320 compatible. <br /><br />Question is, can Pratt deliver what they promise, why did Airbus push it back several years? <br /><br />IMO it can have 737NG operators have a second look.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
