An Engine Alliance GP7200 of the kind slated to power the Emirates A380 lies torn apart in a cell at GE Aviation's shop facility in Wales. It will be reassembled in coming months, closing a small chapter in a voluminous tale of test and discovery aimed at producing the most reliable engine ever. The teardown and reassembly of the GP7200 is a three-month effort for validation of engine manuals and tooling. Though it's a big job in its own right, the teardown is but a small step in an expan range operations certification, says Bruce A. Hughes, Engine Alliance president.
