Assume this means the start of deliveries of NEOs with upgraded P&W engines?

So, a stall margin problem was found on both the LEAP 1-A and the LEAP 1-B, and the reblading of the LEAP 1-A had little to do with durability issues - that was just CFM spin. CFM issues may be more serious than P&W's ... No surprise that no customer was lured to the LEAP when P&W's problems were disclosed. There is - now old look, but not mentioned here at the problem from aeroturbopower.blogspot.cz/2016/07/the-cfm-leap-lpc-issue.html#moreI know he just comments on things - nevertheless the article is interesting |

Airframers and engine manufacturers agree on a very tight schedule, which all suppliers have to commit to in order to get business. Then somme suppliers fail to meet the schedule and everybody has to wait for them. Should we be surprised ?
