CFM prepares for ‘scary’ production ramp-up on LEAP program
CFM will produce about 100 LEAP engines this year. But with the LEAP-1B-powered Boeing 737 MAX entering service next year, and LEAP-1A-powered Airbus A320neos already in service, more than 500 LEAP engines are expected to be produced in 2017. That number will more than double to about 1,100 LEAP engines in 2018.
Meet Raytheon’s Drone-Destroying Microwave-Energy Weapon
here is no shortage of innovative ways to shoot down drones. Some companies are pitching lasers, others prefer radio-frequency disruption or, if you prefer explosions, the U.S. Army has tested Raytheon AIM-9X Sidewinder air-to-air missiles and fired course-corrected projectiles with forward-blast fragmentation warheads from a 50-mm Bushmaster cannon. But could a whole swarm be destroyed electronically with a 1-millisec. zap?
The answer may lie with the Phaser system, designed and developed by Raytheon’s Albuquerque, New Mexico-based Ktech group, the same team that worked with Boeing to produce the “CHAMP” counter-electronics cruise missile for the Air Force.
Will 777X And A350 Stretch Into Very-High-Capacity Territory?
If the plans come to fruition, the aircraft could grow to well beyond 400 seats in some of the more dense airline configurations. The fact that such an initiative is being considered shows how far twin widebodies are advancing into the ultra-high-capacity markets that have previously been the exclusive territory of four-engine aircraft such as the Boeing 747and Airbus A380.
