The current round of evaluations marks the first time the F130 engines have been tested in a dual-pod configuration. The tests will mainly focus on crosswind aerodynamic flow and confirming the successful operation of the engine’s digital controls system. The new F130 turbofan engines will be housed in the newer and bigger engine nacelles supplied by Spirit AeroSystems. However, the underwing engine pods of the B-52 will remain unchanged. So, to fit the new nacelles with a larger diameter, they will be positioned closer to the wing than their predecessors.
