That's not acting as a prop for the share price. The shares have been derated. |
The derated engine sold at a lower price, but had the same components as the standard model. |
He said the design is basically a 9,000-lb-thrust engine, heavily derated to specific airframe power requirements. |
The firing rates were the rating plate gas input rate at sea level and the manufacturer's recommended derated gas input rate for any other altitude. |
For instance, given a particular fuel, a 550kW engine may be derated to 450kW, which also increases the cost. |
It maintains efficiency and power output at higher ambient temperatures that cause microturbines to be significantly derated, and has lower life cycle costs. |
