PARIS: A probe into a series of engine failures on Airbus's smallest jet, the A220, is studying whether a software change set off unexpected vibrations that damaged fast-moving parts and forced three emergency landings, people familiar with the case said.
A third source said it may take until December to confirm the cause, while other scenarios have also not been ruled out. The head of Pratt & Whitney parent United Technologies said earlier this week it was working on finding the cause and remained confident in the new fuel-saving engine. However, although software problems can take time to fix, experts say there are better chances that they can be rectified with a software update rather than forcing a new part design.
