REUTERS/Nick Oxford Acquire Licensing RightsNov 1 (Reuters) - Spirit AeroSystems (SPR.N) on Wednesday projected higher-than-expected cash burn for 2023 as it slashed anticipated deliveries of 737 fuselages, but its new CEO said returning the embattled aerospace supplier to positive cash flow will be his "principle goal." "However, we have other cash levers to pull," including organizational inefficiencies and more closely enforcing contracts with its own supply chain, he said. LOWERED 737 DELIVERY EXPECTATIONSOn Wednesday, Spirit increased its anticipated free cash burn to between $275 and $325 million for 2023, compared with the $200 million to $250 million range. Executives said they anticipate positive margins on the 787 program by the first half of 2025 as a result of the agreement with Boeing. Third-quarter cash burn was $136 million, compared with a cash burn of $73 million a year ago.

RTX said on Monday it would have to pull 600 to 700 of its Pratt & Whitney Geared Turbofan (GTF) engines from Airbus A320neo jets for quality inspections over the next three years. The engine issue was first disclosed in July, but RTX made the extent of the problem clearer on Monday. The announcement caused waves up and down the industry, from component manufacturers like Japan's Kawasaki Heavy Industries to airline carriers like Germany's Lufthansa that rely on the popular Airbus jets. In July, RTX said microscopic contaminants were found in a powdered metal used in high-pressure turbine discs that are part of the GTF engine's core. RTX is one of two manufacturers of engines for the popular narrowbody Airbus A320neo, the other being CFM International, a joint venture between GE (GE.N) and Safran (SAF.PA).
