Further, there is now less diversification of supply. Back 20-30 years ago, each plane model could be fitted with engines from 2 or 3 suppliers (RR, GE, P&W). But now, we see 2 alternatives for a particular frame at the most, and many with just 1. This means that a single supplier's problems now have proportionately larger effects on the plane's program.
