AvTalk Episode 382: The RISE of the Open Fan
On this episode of AvTalk, we jump back to Oshkosh for a conversation with David Ostdiek of GE Aerospace for an in-depth update on the progress being made on the CFM RISE program, as the manufacturer moves toward first flight of the new engine design by the end of the decade. Also on this week’s episode, a drone laden with explosives is found on the ramp in Leipzig and a DHL 757 strikes something on approach to the airport. The NTSB’s preliminary report on the crash of a Beech King Air in New Mexico leads to popular press reporting that misses the mark. TCAS proves its worth once again as it helps prevent a mid-air collision in Tokyo. And the FAA certifies the Boeing 737-7 MAX after nearly a decade. Helpful links for this week’s episode * An overview of the RISE program * DHL 757 flight path * NTSB Preliminary report on the crash of N249CP * FAA statement on 737-7 MAX certification * Norse statement on IndiGo agreement * National Airlines 777 flight from Prestwick to Melbourne * Airbus A350F ground vibration testing Check back soon for a transcript of this week’s episode.
