WSJ News Exclusive | GE, Stung by Boeing Pullback, Pitches for New Business With Airbus

By Benjamin Katz Updated Feb. 19, 2020 7:11 am ET General Electric Co. GE -0.62% is looking for new business from Airbus EADSY -0.24% SE, as the engine maker’s other big customer, Boeing Co., BA -0.47% retrenches.

Late last year, Boeing temporarily halted production of the jet as it awaits Federal Aviation Administration signoff to fly it again. The stoppage has hit suppliers, many of whom have laid off staff or issued profit warnings. GE is now trying to position itself as an engine supplier for the European plane maker’s bigger jets as well. Currently, GE’s GEnx engine competes with Rolls-Royce Holdings RYCEY 0.28% PLC’s Trent 1000 for the 787 Dreamliner. Boeing has outlined plans to decrease output of that jet from 14 a month, to 10 a month, amid generally weaker demand for big jets.

London-based Rolls-Royce is currently the only engine option on the Airbus jet. A Rolls-Royce spokeswoman said the company is “very happy with the performance” of its engine for the aircraft.

Airbus is the future as Boeing is a done deal! Boeing should focus more on turning their planes into crop dusters!

Boeing 737 Max: Fatal crashes revive fears about automation in planes - Business InsiderThe Max took some control from pilots and gave it to computers. Some in the industry say they've warned of dangers with this kind of system for years. Technology over ridding man is the worlds greatest danger So who is the chief in the cockpit? It sounds as if there is no way a trained, certified and proficient pilot is able to override automated flight control systems when circumstances warrant. I don't believe it - but if true, we have forgotten who is indeed the chief. 98% of the entire flight is already done by computers. They make far less mistakes than humans.
