#Avgeek musings... The Airbus A320NEO "new engine option" isn't new any more after a decade. It's actually a geared turbofan (GTF) engine which made it "new" at the time. So should it be called the A320GTFO "geared turbofan option"? Even though technically correct, undoubtedly Airbus marketing would find fault with that name. đ #aviation #travel #humor
