European low-cost carrier Wizz Air said on Tuesday it has selected RTX's Pratt & Whitney as the engine supplier for 177 of its Airbus narrowbody jets.

Airbus SE said the governments of France and Spain agreed to fast-track some deliveries of the slow-selling A400M military transport aircraft as the main nations supporting the program seek to keep production going.

Airbus is encouraged by preliminary data analysis of CFM's RISE engine but the airframer's propulsion engineering chief insists that the open-rotor technology has still to cement its case for selection against geared-fan alternatives.

At the heart of this effort are a series of studies supporting France’s Patmar requirement for a new maritime patrol aircraft based on the A321XLR that would replace the Dassault Atlantique 2, and an Indian plan to convert secondhand A321s into airborne early warning aircraft.
