A400M Engine Test Bed
Has anyone heard of or know anything about what's happening with the MA C130 with the Airbus engine?
Any idea when it's going to fly? Thanks. |

Probably not, the only relevant info was this bit:
Delivered to the Marshall Aerospace facility in Cambridge by Europrop International on November 19th, a TP400 development engine was installed on the wing of a converted C-130 Hercules aircraft on December 3rd. The aircraft, with the outsized engine mounted in place of the C-130’s inner port engine, is being readied by Marshall for flight tests that are due to begin in the spring of 2008. |
Engine is not up to spec, ground test more than flight test, and the paperwork and QA is proving a bugger.
At least that's what I heard, from a Marshall's QA guy last week. |
I have heard that the first run with the engine fitted, not flying, is now due next Tuesday, 3/6/08.

Presumably 3/6/08 :ok:
|
"Presumably 3/6/08"
I didn't realise it was flying this coming Tuesday. That will be something worth seeing! :8 |

Thanks for the wake-up call. OK. I've had a tiring week and I apologise for the mistakes. I have now amended my obvious errors. |
