Airbus is developing the equipment in competition against current geared-turbofan nacelle producer United Technologies. At the Belfast site, Bombardier also produces wings for the A220 programme, over which Airbus took control earlier this month. In 2017, Bombardier's Belfast facility generated a USD 20 million operating loss. Джерело інформації: Flight Global |
