A Vietnam Airlines A321neo diverted to Lahore after experiencing engine problems during delivery flight
A Vietnam Airlines A321neo was forced to divert to Lahore after experiencing engine problems during its delivery flight to Hanoi. (www.gatechecked.com) Más...What I don't get is...they basically used the CS as an engine testbed with the GTF, so why still having all these issues?
Intricate, complex... words barely adequate to describe modern turbine engines. Plus, some things just can not be properly modeled/anticipated. As AS&WT commented, "nine countries can make a nuclear bomb, only two (US and Britain) can make single crystal turbine blades' (paraphrased)
It's the same engine on a bit bigger scale. They discovered the shortcomings with it during testing and delivery. Swiss, Air Baltic and Bombardier have replaced numerous engines on them in the early phases, with same issues the big 1's are having. If the part breaks, figure out why and repair it. P&W was suppose to have this figured out.
Can't wait for MH370 to downvote this story
Does that sound a bit like Microsoft Windows new releases?
