Good Progress

Thank you all for the help with this.

Jo
Thats good info. Looks like we have a shaft balance problem so far. But not sure as yet More work to do.

All help much appreciated.

Eng Note:

SKF has made ALL the bearings so far. They also make the T1000 bearings? So why not the T900?

Engs never leave a trusted supplier. So looks like INA/Schaeffer were willing to take on a new design concept.

Is this it?

looks like they also got a contract on the EA/GE engines on the new B787 and on the T1000 too.

Looks like more heat transfer for less mass but we will see.
