Chosen to power the Falcon 2000 in 1990, the engine was also first run in May 1990, [1] and it was first flown on a Boeing 727 testbed on 31 August 1992. [2] The CFE738-1 made its inaugural flight on a Falcon 2000 prototype on March 4, 1993.
Pratt & Whitney faced difficulties with the JT9D design during the Boeing 747 test program. Engine failures during the flight test program resulted in thirty aircraft being parked outside the factory with concrete blocks hanging from the pylons, awaiting redesigned engines. Boeing and Pratt & Whitney worked together in 1969 to solve the problem.
The Boeing KC-135 Stratotankers were all originally powered by turbojet engines. With the demise of many airline 707s, the United States Air Force took the opportunity to buy the surplus airframes and use the engines to re-fit the KC-135As used by the Air National Guard and reserve squadrons with the civilian JT3D (designated TF33-PW-102). Over ...
A Boeing quality investigator is doubling down on claims he made earlier this year about the airline manufacturer’s use of faulty parts, which could make aircraft less safe or lead to malfunctions.
Boeing's 737 MAX 7 and 10 are delayed as the planemaker works to address an engine anti-ice system that could lead to it overheating and potentially causing an engine failure before the planes can ...
The panel, created after fatal Boeing 737 Max crashes in 2018 and 2019 but before the recent incident in which a door plug blew out the side of an aircraft, found “gaps in Boeing’s safety ...
The Pratt & Whitney PW2000, also known by the military designation F117 and initially referred to as the JT10D, is a series of high-bypass turbofan aircraft engines with a thrust range from 37,000 to 43,000 lbf (160 to 190 kN). Built by Pratt & Whitney, they were designed for the Boeing 757.
