Below is a very good article on how the A320neo is going in service. aviationweek.com/commercial-aviation/airlines-praise-airbus-a320neo-performance-engine-issues-remainHere's a few bits of information from it (much more in the article) -Overall dispatch reliability is at 99.6% vs a target of 99.7% -Fuel burn matches or exceeds the 15% reduction in fuel burn per seat, even on short sectors with greater savings on longer sectors. (Some have even reported a 20% reduction due to a denser configuration) -Airbus plans to deliver around 200neos this year -Pratt's goal is to deliver 350-400 GTFs this year (presumably this includes all variants) and CFM 500 LEAPs (including the 1B for the MAX) I read the article yesterday as well and it is very informative and well written I liked to add few things about GTF if people are lazy to read - Core has been running fine - engine startup time reduced to 3 min 30 sec from 7 min (dual cooling on over head panel) Potential LEAP program ? - production ramp up to support both 737 MAX and A320 NEO

Looks like some active flow testing on the rudder to me.
