Boeing’s Early Concept for All-New Jetliner Tempts Rolls-Royce

In recent weeks, the U.S. plane maker has reached out to the British engine manufacturer to gauge its interest in a potential new aircraft, according to the people, who asked not to be named discussing private interactions. The midsize jet would be designed to fill a gap in Boeing’s product lineup and blunt the success of an Airbus SE sales dynamo, the A321neo.

Pat P: Good article in light of the Covid 19 potential impacts on long term Airlines uncertain future.  Roll Royce only builds engines for wide body jets now.  They are talking with Boeing about producing engines called Ultra Fan with thrusts from 50,000 to 100,000 pounds for more fuel efficiency and a 5000 mile aircraft range.
