Abstract

Fourteen years ago International Aero Engines got the green light for design and development of the V2500 turbofan. Then, as now, the consortium represented the industry’s most ambitious global engine partnership. Today the V2500 has become the staple, high volume product for Rolls‐Royce and Pratt & Whitney in the narrow body market. As a case study of international co‐operation, charts IAE’s progress and examines how the programme is meeting the demands of continuing change.
