The A-160 claims a fivefold increase in endurance. This is a rather extraordinary claim. "Extraordinary claims require extraordinary proof" (quote from Carl Sagan, I think)
I wonder how much of this claim is based upon an engine who's performance and efficiency claims hasn't been proven in the real world yet.
