	FLUG REVUE October 2002: GP7000 competes for A380 business
		Thus the core of the GP7200 is essentially the same as the GE90-115B but with 86% of its physical size and 72% of its aerodynamic airflow.
		On the turbines the engineers are paying close attention to the phenomenon where the airflow spirals through the different stages and is influenced by the interaction between the rotor and stator airfoils.
		Despite good results, GE is planning a third series of trials for the core engine at the beginning of 2003 in order, according to Bruce Hughes, to improve the air flow by 0.5% and the stall margin by 2%.
