87 gliders is a huge number...
down from over a hundred.
Down 13 is how many months? Sad Pratt & CFM messed up so much. It looks as if SAFRAN is the limit on LEAP production. Meh, it is being worked out.
Lightsaber
The over hundred gliders were just before Airbus started delivering P&W frames again. If I remember right that was end of April. So it is down from over one hundred in about two month. June deliveries were 67 frames. We can expect monthly production to be near 54 frames, so June could have reduced the amount of gliders by 13 frames. Deliveries have to be above 54 frames to reduce the stock of undelivered frames. There can be a few frames that are undelivered because of financial problems or deferral by the airlines, but I hardly imagine that they stand around with engines. Every picture of parked frames show no engines. Engines seem to go the frames only that get than delivered
There are about even numbers of P&W and LEAP birds undelivered. A few CFM 56 frames are late and IAE frames seem to get engines when they leave FAL.
Seriously, it seems like an overall issue with the pain being spread.
How long will he/they hold on..
