FARNBOROUGH AIRSHOW - Today the Engine Alliance announced a series of performance and
durability enhancements to the GP7200 engine applicable to new engine
deliveries that will begin to enter service later this year.
The refinements, to be released into production over the next 18 months,
incorporate upgrades to engine clearances and sealing, introduce an
improved turbine blade and offer a modest incremental weight reduction.
These performance enhancements are in addition to the recently
announced demonstrated improvement in GP7200 fuel consumption published
in Airbus’ A380 performance handbook – the third positive adjustment
since December 2007 – and to a series of weight reductions that put the
engine well below production requirements.
