Keeping it close to the vest

From the Canadian Press, 12 June:
Ground rests on the jetliner resumed Tuesday for the first time since the incident, after which the engine in question was shipped to manufacturer Pratt & Whitney in Connecticut for analysis. The Canadian Transportation Safety Board also opened an investigation.

Bombardier (TSX:BBD-B.TO - News) has said it believes the engine failure occurred in the low-pressure turbine of an engine that was "known to have problems."

The manufacturer has been running stationary tests on other systems, including electrical and avionics in the last week and has begun to repair the first test flight airplane, describing the damage as "manageable."

The CSeries won't make an appearance at the Farnborough Air Show in mid-July.
