Strange decision to go with IAE V2500
They are talking about making a stretch version for civilian cargo.
Surely better to go with a GTF or Leap-X from the outset…?
Or are there export reasons? PW are already part of IAE, so I don’t know if there would be any appreciable differences.
[Well, really IMO it should have been propfan based, there will be very few cargo operators able to turn their nose up at a 20% fuel saving…]
