Back to the aircraft itself, it ferried from Toulouse to Cranfield UK on Friday 8th Nov 2019 Maybe Cranfield Institute of Technology (CIT) are going to do the mods ? BAe Avro RJ100 3379 G-WEFX Airbus ferried 08nov19 TLS-EGTC, E-FanX demonstrator, filed with reg F-WWFX If I look at the video of Airbus describing the project, the right inner turbine is replaced by a motor with a fan inside the pod, so I did assume that all change is internal. I have looked at that video again and read something, that I did overlook, first flight of the demonstrator in 2021. So the flights seen up to now, may well be just for collecting data from the unchanged frame and the conversion is now starting. One of the artists impressions shows that when converted there will be an air intake on the top of the rear fuselage, so I guess there will be some kind of interior turbine maybe to generate electric energy for the electric fan in the no. 3 nacelle ? ? ?
