The Engine Alliance (EA) shipped the first GP7200 propulsor to Emirates on May 21. The delivery marks the first time the Engine Alliance and member company Pratt & Whitney have delivered a propulsor, rather than a full engine, to any airline. “Shipping a propulsor is an innovative way to supply spare engines,” EA chief engineer Paul Smith explained. “The fan module has a very long life, so it can be reused with a new propulsor to provide a full spare engine. It’s a huge cost savings for the customer.” According to EA industrial director Marios Evripidou, delivering spare propulsors in lieu of spare engines also helps minimize an airline’s inventory.
