A320neo

I'm surprised at the very little PR that comes out of CFM compared to PW. PW was all over the place with so many pictures, videos, articles etc. There haven't been too many pictures of the LEAP from CFM despite them stating that tests are well underway.  |

Well PW already delivered engines flying in the air on CS and soon to take off on A320NEO - they are at least 1,5 a year ahead.....
The flying testbed was in the air close to 2 years ago.

PW showcased it's preliminary GTF tests well before the CS, . We've seen plenty more images and video material of the actual working engine, something missing from the CFM end. |

CFM will throw some PR event at some later stage, when they have something to show to the press ...

Wings for MSN 6419 (3rd A320neo, 1st with CFM engines) have been spotted in Broughton. I thought they'd only built 2 A319neo, 2 A320neo and 2 A321neo at first, and when have half with CFM the other with the geared turbofan. |

The second A320, with GTF, could be for a customer not test. The CFM comes quite abit later than the GTF.
Or here is not differentiated between A320/321/319.

Actually I believe there will be 4 A320s used for test and as you said, 2 A319s and 2 A321s.
