Just look at Helios91's post above. I cannot read German. Is it exactly the same information ? |

Many thanks to starbucks for producing a tracker for the A320neo test flights. Ditto!  Interesting how only 2 A320neos out of 8 will bear French regs. Will the remaining neos that bear German regs. be conducting tests out of XFW or will they be flown over to TLS later?  |

First post said: "A320 Neo just had an RTO in TLS as seen on Radar Toulouse"
"RTO" means rejected takeoff test. But it's very good news so twice is certainly okay.
Any rumors when it might fly? Sounds good to go to me.

Sad article - we will see.
It might be real issues or just nothing.

Is this truly the latest status on it? Why do they high speed taxi runs then? If there would be still any problem with the engine they would not risk the valuable prototype. My theory: Problem solved, FF next. Mind you the C-Series is flying again as well.
neo is a key program under a certain time pressure. They will have all the resources available to get things sorted and won't waste time.

The Pratt 747 test bed was also airborne two days ago. They might be testing a last minute change.

This looks like a last minute change certification issue, don't you think ? Two weeks sooner or later is like a drop of water in a bucket ...
