GE's Alternative Engine Program Also Facing Hiccups During Development
The GE F136 engine suffered a stall in April during a test. An oil leak just in front of the high-pressure compressor stage caused an engine imbalance which leads to a compressor stall.
A number of new, low-pressure turbine blades were damaged as a result. The engine will be repaired and return to testing later this year.
