The Intel 80x86 processor was the first to be used for the system, in conjunction with a compiler and runtime system for the Ada programming language.Beginning in 1988 and continuing for a number of years, Honeywell Air Transport Systems worked together with consultants from DDC-I in collaboration to retarget and optimize the DDC-I Ada compiler to the AMD 29050 architecture for use in full ...
The goal of it is similar to Boeing's D1-9000. [3] The standard is based on ISO 9000 , with 27 additional requirements unique to the aerospace industry. The intent is to standardize and streamline many of the other aerospace quality management standards.
[2] In April 2016, it was FAA Certified after 3,380 hours and 3,385 cycles of testing. [2] The Global 7000 made its maiden flight with it on November 4, 2016. [5] It flew 100 hours on the Boeing 747 before logging more than 900 hours aboard the Global 7000 prototypes. By May 2017, the engines had completed 3,100h in ground and flight test. [6]
Rocketdyne became part of Boeing's Defense division. In February 2005, Boeing reached an agreement to sell what was by then referred to as "Rocketdyne Propulsion & Power" to Pratt & Whitney of United Technologies Corporation. The transaction was completed on August 2, 2005. [4] Boeing retained ownership of Rocketdyne's Santa Susana Field Lab.
A 2-stage fan replaced the first 3 stages of the 9-stage JT3C LP compressor. On the LP turbine, the second stage was enlarged and a third stage added. Unlike GE with the CJ805-23, Pratt & Whitney had not undertaken any transonic fan research prior to designing the JT3D, so they were unable to incorporate a single stage unit into the ...
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) granted $6.5 billion in contracts over 10 years under a program called Systems Engineering 2020 (SE2020). Honeywell was a part of a $1.7 billion contract with Boeing and a $280 million contract with CSSI Inc., an engineering, IT and applied research firm. [42]
The first flight with one of these engines took place on 22 February 2007, using a Boeing 747-100, fitted with one GEnx engine in the number 2 (inboard left hand side) position. By fall 2019, General Electric was offering the GEnx-2B, developed for the 747-8, for the revised 767-XF variant based on the 767-400ER, but needed enough volume to ...
The development budget was first set at US$2.5 billion in 1986, increasing to a projected US$30 billion in 1988. [31] By 2008, US$27 billion had been spent and another US$27.2 billion was required for planned production numbers. [24] Between 2008 and 2011, the V-22's estimated lifetime cost grew by 61%, mostly for maintenance and support. [55]
