In the last two months, India has investigated three situations in which pilots were forced to turn off aircraft engines mid-flight.
According to a report, the engines used in all three instances were built by a joint venture of General Electric (GE) Co.If a problem occurs, the “command in-flight shutdowns” require pilots to actively shut down one of the plane’s engines.
Different variables may have contributed to the difficulties in these three examples.
CFM, a joint venture between GE and Safran SA, owned the engines involved in all three mishaps.
Two Airbus SE A320neo planes operated by Air India and a Boeing Co 737 Max plane operated by SpiceJet were involved.
This comes as CFM prepares to supply Indigo with engines.
The company is also considering creating a repair plant in India, especially now that it has received its largest order from Indigo.
Safran is also collaborating with GE on manufacturing technology that could allow engine blades to operate without the need for a traditional housing.
A recent occurrence of apparent engine failure resulted in an Air India flight from Mumbai to Bengaluru returning to Mumbai’s Airport just 27 minutes after taking off due to one of its engines shutting down mid-flight due to a technical malfunction.
