GE Honda Ships Redesigned HF120 Turbofan Engines.

(Flight International, 10/19, Croft) reported, "The GE Honda Aero Engines team has shipped two HF120 turbofan engines with modified fan blisks for Honda's F2 flight test aircraft in North Carolina following a redesign of the titanium components after icing tests earlier this year. The aircraft is expected to join the test programme in November." After tests revealed the icing issues, Honda "redesigned the fan blade, increasing the thickness of the leading edge of the 16 fan blades on the blisk and changing the manufacturing process for the component." Now, some of the tests the previous engine conducted have to be rerun.
