Here's some new info in the next generation of Fighter Engines:
Air Force's Next Gen 'Fighter' Engine Competition Shakes Up Status Quo
Joseph Trevithick - Yesterday 2:18 PM

Excerpt: "The U.S. Air Force recently handed contracts to five different companies, each one with a maximum value close to $1 billion, for work related to the Next Generation Adaptive Propulsion program, or NGAP. This engine is expected to at least power the sixth generation manned stealth fighter-like jet now being developed as part of the larger Next Generation Air Dominance effort, or NGAD. That Boeing, Lockheed Martin, and Northrop Grumman were among the NGAP contract recipients shows that the Air Force is opening the field to new potential engine suppliers and underscores the ongoing competition around the overall design of the next-generation manned aircraft that these engines are expected to power."
The entire article is at the Click Here link above. It's about a 15-minute read. Since Gary (Bullhunter) was in jet engines and Lorin was in Flight Sims at Wright-Patterson AFB I thought they would be most interested in reading this article. Thanks, Pat P.

On the one hand, competition is a heckuva motivator. OTOH, how I expect this to play out is akin to what the railroads did ordering locomotives from Fairbanks-Morse, Baldwin and Lima--using new guys to pressure the Big Two about "can you give us a better offer than these lean and hungry guys looking to move up?" Essentially, it's a play to haggle on price with Pratt & Whitney and GEAE.

Nothing changes until someone is motivated by competition. Thanks, Pat P

Thanks, Pat P There's also Corporate Welfare in play--with all the internal botches I can't talk about but have heard from insider sources, plus the penalties on 787 and 737 MAX delivery shutdowns, AND not only Airbus eating their lunch in the order books but new player Boom eating their lunch with what looks like a ripoff of the 1960s Boeing 2707 SST, not to mention yet another move of Corporate HQ, Boeing needs an absurd amount of cash in to make up what they've frittered away and will take any source they can get for it. (Whether they can actually deliver promised product or not...)
