First Boeing 777X flight test airplane comes together most fuel-efficient commercial engine ever, the GE9X, and a fourth-generation all-new composite wing design that provides lift and efficiency. With the extension of a set of folding, raked wingtips, the airplane’s wing spans 235 feet (72 meters). By adding folding wingtips, the 777X’s wingspan has been increased to enhance the aerodynamic efficiency of the wing, reducing engine thrust and fuel use. Ad- ditionally, the folding wingtips allow the 777X to maintain airport compatibility with the existing 777 family, adding value for customers. The first 777X introduced will be the 777-9 model, which can seat 400 to 425 passengers in a standard configuration and offer a range of 7,600 nautical miles (14,075 km).

MRO & PRODUCTION NEWS Dowty Propellers breaks ground in Gloucester

490 jobs to go in Northern Ireland as Bombardier looks to shed 5,000 positions worldwide In the wake of the Canadian plane and train makers announcement on November 8 and last week’s free cash flow forecast which sent Bombardier shares tumbling, it has been announced that 490 jobs of the 4,000-strong workforce based across four locations in Northern Ireland is to be cut. The Belfast-based operation, previously known as Shorts, said it will speak with employees in more detail over the coming weeks to “explore opportunities to help mitigate the number of compulsory re- dundancies.” Wings for the A220 plane – for- merly known as the Bombardier CSeries – are made at a factory in Belfast, which currently supports 1,000 jobs. Bombardier is hoping to save up to US$250 million a year through “streamlining the company” with the shedding of 7% of its 70,000-strong global workforce over the next 12-18 months. Bombardier has operations in 28 different countries. Ground breaking of Dowty Propellers’ new Gloucester facility Photo: Dowty Propellers
