Thank you for the summary philidor. Regarding the hydraulic temperature issue, this was mentioned by Airbus during the Innovation Days in May. Regarding the startup time: this has been reduced from 3 minutes to just 90 seconds, and will be further reduced to ~ 70 seconds this autumn. Note that 90 seconds is already pretty good (in line with the current V2500 engine). That cannot be right, we are already in Q3 and flight activity has resumed to 'normal' since early this month. Perhaps, though 90 seconds should be fine for many operators.

Embraer E190-E2 which is also powered by Pratt & Whitney geared turbofan ( GTF) family of the engines - PW1900G, is experiencing some of the startup issues seen on the Airbus A320neo... ...a short article... .Since the PW1400G-JM geared turbofan engine, aimed for the Irkut MS-21-300 aircraft, share the same, not just the engine architecture, but the fan´s and core´s geometry (fan diameter: 2.057,4 mm / 81,0 in; eng. architecture: F]G[3LPC-8HPC ^ 2HPT-3LPT) with the PW1100G-JM engine (among some differences in engines´ design, like the accessory drives and the secondary subsystems generally, the engines differ in FADEC Hardware & Software PN and Data Storage Unit PN - Ratings Plug), I expect that, until the first flight, Irkut MS-21-300 first prototype will get a new pair of the engines and that with all the construction and software modifications already implemented in the PW1100G-JM engine aimed for the A320neo family of the aircraft. Otherwise, PW1431G-JM engine aimed for the propulsion of the Irkut MS-21-300 aircraft is rated at 140,44 kN / 14.321 kgf / 31.572 lbf of take-off (5 minutes) static thrust (max. continuous thrust is 138,20 kN / 14.092 kgf / 31.068 lbf)... ... and since the Pratt & Whitney PW1500G engine, aimed for the Bombardier CSeries CS100 ( BD-500-1A10), is a member of the same - PurePower engine family, I am sure it is not exempt from the whole story ... The values of those certified PurePower® PW1000G geared turbofan engines´ thrusts, as follows: Mario

Thank you, for your instructive post, Mario. I suspect the P&W engine issues would have been found on the CSeries or the MRJ if both of them had not been delayed, leaving the A320neo test the 'Purepower' engine family for the first time in 'real life' conditions.

Forgetting the short delay - this is truly excellent !

I suspect the P&W engine issues would have been found on the CSeries or the MRJ if both of them had not been delayed, leaving the A320neo test the 'Purepower' engine family for the first time in 'real life' conditions. The fact is that CSeries was delayed because of GTF failure, at least related to the following incident in May 2014: Bombardier CSeries flight testing halted after engine problem But this was another issue...
