Good News! The Leap Football is Multiple Footballs.
I apologize. I'm not an international aerospace manufacturer and I missed the easy answer.
CFM readies for full Leap production cutover by 2020 - 16 October, 2012
An excerpt:
Francois Harant, Snecma supply chain director, says the 2020 forecast is based on the A320 and 737 production lines both running at 42 aircraft per month, and adding in Comac output of 10-20 C919s per year. CFM is the sole-source engine supplier for the 737 and C919, but competes with Pratt & Whitney's PW1100G for A320 business.
The CFM joint venture partners' production infrastructure has the capability to "surge" to 2,000 engines annually if market demand exceeds expectations, says Harant: "We will use this surge capacity to ease the Leap transition."
CFM is extending to the Leap its policy of multi-sourcing all engine parts, says Harant. At least one supplier will have been selected for each Leap part by the end of the first quarter of 2013.
"We are already in the process - some selections have already been done," says Harant. "We have a plan to introduce a second source [for each part]. About 90% will be the same [CFM56] suppliers as today. We did have to find some new suppliers for new technology materials and coatings."
The thought came to me when I saw investorhub123's 10/14/14 post about Snecma's contract with Mecachrome for titanium-aluminide (TiAl) blades on the Leap engine.
Airframer.com's supplier list for the Airbus A320
Power Systems / Engine Components including the LEAP-1A - Airbus A320neo
Airframer.com's supplier list for the Boeing 737
Power Systems / Engine Components including the LEAP-1B - Boeing 737 MAX
Airframer.com's supplier list for the COMAC C919
Power Systems / Engine Components including the LEAP-1C - Comac C919
It appears that Kikuchi Gear has not made it onto the Airframer.com supplier lists.
Is this the "new" deflategate?
