To me this actually looks like a ordinary CFM56, look at the tailpipe  |

The EASA and FAA type certifications both show the designation as (e.g.) A320-271n. So no uppercase for the "n"  |

Regarding engines. As the first P&W A320neo has been safely delivered to LH, when can we expect more? Is the ramp up at P&W running smoothly? There seem to be quite a few engine less frames standing around, especially for Indigo. When will the floodgates open?

When the issue took front stage in December, software (in January) and hardware (in February) fixes were both promised. I assume implementation requires engine deliveries to be stopped, and already delivered engines to be returned to P&W.
I suppose LH actually accepted to take delivery now and receive the hardware fix later.

About 15 A320neo are waiting with or without engines. A320npe as they are called on a.net.

I wonder how long will it take to develop and produce a fix for those already more than 30 engines ?
There is not a single line about some problems on the PW website.
Those undelivered planes probably does cost PW, but who knows.....
They are trying hard to enter this lucrative market, so.....

I think the following frames are waiting both TtLS and XFW.
MSN6744, 6772, 6799, 6819, 6829, 6833, 6849, 6860, 6864, 6866, 6904, 6907, 6914, 6920 and perhaps 6946.
That would be 7 for Indigo, 4 for Qatar, 2 for LH and 2 for Spirit.

At least 10 frames for Indigo have been spotted. That should than include MSN6720, used for route testing, and the next MSN6952 and 6967, but are the last two finished but the engines? |
