“Pratt & Whitney is vulnerable and although Rolls-Royce is the blue blood of manufacturing, they have had trouble too. The resilience of the engines that are being made ... is not what it used to be. There’s been a degradation in the quality.”
The revival of Rolls-Royce under the unflinching stewardship of “Turbo” Tufan Erginbilgic, has been heralded as the work of a turnaround master.

China’s grandiose plot to take on Rolls-Royce
New Year’s Eve celebrations were on course to be a largely calm affair in Beijing. Yet while thousands of worshippers visited the Yonghe Temple to light incense sticks and pray for good fortune, Chinese officialdom seemed determined to set off fireworks elsewhere.

For as long as the C919 or any of the other COMAC’s other models continue to lack certification by FAA and EASA, their sales will remain constricted to the Chinese market (which to be fair is large enough to sustain the company) and the likes of Western world-sanctioned nations such as Iran and Russia.“Pratt & Whitney is vulnerable and although Rolls-Royce is the blue blood of manufacturing, they have had trouble too.

And even if it got certified, their support, maintenance and parts network remains unproven and undoubtedly unable to cope with mass orders away from China, at the present time and the foreseeable future. FWIW a serious competitor to the Airbus-Boeing duopoly would be welcome news for the commercial aircraft industry, but I’d rather doubt we’d get there for a good few decades at the least.
