How big is the GTF problem? Pratt & Whitney is at pains to admit the issue in terms of cost and has sent a signal they believe they have the issue defined and a solution in place. They also believe the proposed fix covers the power issue plaguing the engine.
What do we know about the GTF population? Here is a table based on ch-Aviation’s fleet data that lists these engines’ locations by aircraft type. The problem is mainly Airbus-focused, and to date, P&W has not discussed the issue on the A220 or E2. Of the ~1,700 aircraft (2,400 engines), 81% are active. Another 7% are in maintenance.
Co-Founder AirInsight. My previous life includes stints at Shell South Africa, CIC Research, and PA Consulting. Got bitten by the aviation bug and ended up an Avgeek. Then the data bug got me, making me a curious Avgeek seeking data-driven logic. Also, I appreciate conversations with smart people from whom I learn so much. Summary: I am very fortunate to work with and converse with great people.
