2nd article in one day banging on Pratt and directly or indirectly trumpeting GE...
But I am so cynical.
Maybe more afoot here....
Rolls is suing Pratt and now this from GE? Why? Quo Bono?
Pratt has their Geared Turbofan and all it's Patents getting ready for production in 2013 which will be the launch engine on 3 new 100 seat aircraft designs.
In an industry that would do anything for a 1% reduction in fuel consumption, this engine will cut fuel consumption 16%. Rolls and GE have no trump card for this technology.
Are they trying to muscle them to "share the wealth" i.e. the patents?
