More than a decade after Airbus and General Electric (GE) parted ways over failed plans to power the A350, the two companies have begun preliminary talks aimed at potential development of an “evolved” GEnx-based engine design for possible future variants of the big twinjet.
The discussions, some of which were held at Airbus in Toulouse, France in October, are focused on a significantly advanced GEnx-1 variant incorporating an air bleed system and material and design enhancements derived from the GE9X developed for Boeing’s delayed 777X. The engine would be aimed at a potential re-engined A350neo (new engine option) upgrade that Airbus is thought to be studying for introduction in the second half of the 2020s. Guy Norris Reports
