The suggestion that RR/Airbus might one day acquire Boeing has given me a nice thought to ponder in this evening light, rather a cosy feeling, I admit.
I've been trying to weedle out any info over the last few months about the subject of narrow body re-entry by RR. and the general reportage is nearly always in negative terms, suggesting that will take an age (and too late anyway) to get back into the market. Clearly the timescale could be a lot faster than people think given the fact that engine development hasn't simply ceased since the exit and RR are clearly equipped to move quickly (supply chain stuff permitting). Anyone got any thoughts on such a timescale?
