Engine replacement seems quite common. Are initial flights often on Airbus engines and then swapped to customer engines later? Sounds quite possible. When checking flight test performance, the Airbus owned engines will have a known performance? Gives RR the opportunity to deliver the very latest sp...
Jump to postThe F-35A has the space reserved for a probe installation in the forward fuselage.

Jump to postAirbus's Tom Williams, who is the top chap on these issues, appears to think that the (3) UK wing plants will turn into shambles because of Brexit and consequently delay deliveries of wings etc to other Airbus plants on the Continent.
