ANZEIGE
Zumindest EK hat aber lange mit RR darüber diskutiert...
Nach dem offen ausgetragenen Streit zwischgen QR und Airbus hat man vermutlich dazugelernt, und regelt das Problem etwas geräuschloser...Rolls-Royce is taking measures to enhance the durability of the Trent XWB-97 engines that power the A350-1000 craft and insists the engines are not defective.
That engine “is the most efficient engine … flying today, so it really is high-tech and something we're very proud of. That engine works great and perfectly in environments which are not harsh, we call them benign environments”, he said.
But the desert environment can prove to be harsh, he added.
“When you come to non-benign environments, sandy and hot conditions, it's really testing for engines because they run it at very high temperatures. Sand with high temperatures is a challenge, it's an industry challenge to all new generation engines as far as harsh conditions,” he said.
“It's not that the engines cannot perform a mission, they just do not stay on wing as long as they should.
“It's a durability issue, it's not a defect issue as has been mentioned.”
Zumindest keine Billigairline... AA, UA, AC haben das Gegenteil angekündigt.Niemand hat die Absicht, die XLR auf lukrative Transatlantikrouten zu schicken.
Portugal, Spanien, Schottland, Irland, Frankreich, Italien und Skandinavien klingt irgendwie schon nach Transatlantik für einen Amerikaner...United’s spokesperson confirmed that the A321XLR will primarily serve international routes. The Denver to Lihue, Hawaii route, currently operated by the 757, is not expected to transition to the XLR. The Newark to Lima service remains under consideration.
Passengers can anticipate the A321XLR operating on existing 757 routes to destinations such as Faro and Porto in Portugal, Malaga in Spain, Edinburgh in Scotland, and Shannon in Ireland.
United plans to expand its network with the A321XLR, reaching destinations previously inaccessible to narrowbody aircraft. These include cities in France, Northern Italy, Scandinavia, West Africa, and North Africa.
