In 1990, Brian Rowe bet $2 billion on a revolutionary jet engine design that would go on to influence three decades of propulsion. The GE90's concept, architecture and technologies allowed for extraordinary gains in the aviation industry, culminating in the new GE9X engine for the Boeing 777X.
In more than a century of building engines and powering flight, GE Aviation has never stopped innovating. That's because we believe there's always a way to do things better.
GE works on things that matter. The best people and the best technologies taking on the toughest challenges. Finding solutions in energy, health and home, transportation and finance. Building, powering, moving and curing the world. Not just imagining. Doing. GE works.
Learn how the GE90 influenced every engine from the last three decades. The revolutionary technologies of the GE9X will take it to the next level.

It’s really a miracle in itself to think you can take a bunch of parts ,stick them together , and push tons of metal into the air . I love when your sitting on the runway and the pilots push those engines full power and it pushes you back into the seat.

I overhauled and refurbished components for the GE90 at Standard Aero in Cincinnati. I worked on fan blade platforms, oil seals, spinner cones, combustor components, ect... I loved that job and i love the GE90 engine. Just a marvel of engineering. Can't wait to see what's in store for the GE9X.

NIce to see such innovation. I worked at GE in Cincinnati (Evendale) at the jet engine facility in the early 80's. Our team developed the CF6-80C engines that were originally used on the Boeing 767. Unfortunately, after that program ended and it was turned over to production, we all go laid off. SO I went into computers and networking and haven't looked back. But it's nice to see GE is still in the forefront of engine design. I also met Brian Rowe a couple of times as well. Nice guy....just reminiscing, I guess..

The first aero engine to have composite blades was the Rolls-Royce RB108, designed in the early 1950s. These blades were of GRP. Much later, in the early 1970s, Rolls-Royce used composites in a turbofan engine. Fan blades for the RB211-22B were of ‘Hyfil’, a carbon fibre reinforced epoxy. The blades were of a new wide-chord design pioneered by the company to reduce the number of blades necessary, and hence cut noise. So GE are not the originators of composite blades. .

@crabfat1494 8 жыл бұрын

+soaringtractor Makes no difference.. Composite RR blades were in use, working and running well before the RB 211 came along when the company underestimated the engine’s development costs, which led the company to bankruptcy in February 1971. As a consequence, Rolls-Royce was nationalized, and the British government met the company’s financial obligations As for Lockheed all but going bust, Lockheed was on the verge of bankruptcy because of delays with the L-1011 other than the RB211, cost overruns on its C-5 program, and reduced military contracts in the waning years of the Vietnam War. Lockheed were saved only through coordinated efforts of the U.S. government and other consolidated lenders, and committed customers. Lockheed were in the mire without the L1011. Anyway...Composite blades are not US invented..

@crabfat1494 8 жыл бұрын

soaringtractor RR had a delayed delivery for an aircraft that was already flopping and to a company(Lockheed) that was in the shit anyway.. The only reason the British government helped RR was the condition that the US government bailed out Lockheed.....So don't try and score on that old chestnut. And anyway...when lockheed got the engines...the plane turned out to be a duffer when no-one would buy it.

Hi Charlie Austin, correct me if I’m wrong, but hasn’t the industry changed directions in favor of a mid to long range - efficient jet? For example Boeing’s 737 series is perhaps the best selling plane we have seen so far. It has performed excellently; that is of-course, until the recent accidents involving the 737 Max, which has cause major airlines to cancel orders and has caused the groundings of the entire global fleet. There has also been a decline in operations of the 747 series by airlines. The “Queen if the Skies” utilizes jet which utilizes the GE9X engine. I’m hoping all turnouts well for Boeing. However, I am interested in seeing how Boeing manages to recover from the recent accidents with the 373 Max and am particularly interested to see how this could mean for Airbus and their new A330neo, but I am also cheering for the success of the 777X.

TF34 was the GREATEST, super easy to work on, NEVER FAILED, reliable and the layout was PERFECT. GE makes perfect engines. TF34 in the Navy was the S3 and I had an USAF buddy inform me that the A10 also used the TF34. AWESOME ENGINE, WAY TO GO GE. 127K+ THRUST - WOW!!!!!

The CF6 series, a mixed blessing for GE. On the one hand a great selling engine. On the other, probably the engine with most safety issues. Google GE45/50 and some 80 series models to see all the NTSB directives. Overall, RR are safer models.

@mattieice4689 8 жыл бұрын

The CF6 didn't bankrupt GE as the RB211 did Rolls. The Cf6 80 makes comparable thrust to the Trent800 series and does so with a lighter engine. The Cf6 still outperforms Rolls engines with an aged platform. Fancy that. Additionally, look up ADs for GE90 vs Trent 800/900

@ivanlagrossemoule 9 жыл бұрын

Okay so usually the high pressure turbine blades are meant to support alot of heat and mainly hold to creep. That's why the nickel based superalloys were used, as well as monocrystals. But how does the cobalt and chrome alloy compensate for this ? I mean, unless they could print monocrystals I'm sort of confused.

@mccormicklucas451 9 жыл бұрын

Cobalt and chrome alloys is used together because they have a really high resistance to heat and friction which is both in a jet engine I know the t-58 helicopter I work on which is also a GE engine it has cobalt bearings and titanium compressor casings

What i find very ironic, is that for years I've heard Americans dismiss Rolls Royce saying that American GE design and engineering is far better, yet at the helm was a British Man, so both RR and GE are products of British design and engineering pioneers. Whereas as the American PW. are still loud fuel guzzling smoke machines.

@vbscript2 10 жыл бұрын

LOL - So, having a Brit working there makes it 'British design and engineering,' even though the vast majority of the engineers working there are Americans? Also, some of RR's design is done here, too. They tried to recruit some of my aerospace engineering friends. Also, according to RR's own website, "More Rolls-Royce products are built in the U.S. than anywhere else in the world."

GE is a long way ahead of Roll Royce when it comes to Combustor tech. RR combustors are far inferior in efficiency to GE's by a large margin. RR has their 3rd shaft, P&W has the geared fan but GE has the combustion tech. Efficient use of fuel starts at the combustor and also drives emissions more directly that the other approaches. Also the majority of RR engineering is now done in the USA.

@adamwillis6975 10 жыл бұрын

SuperBuzz71 no GE is not far ahead than RR. Where on earth did you see or hear that?? The only reason why a lot of RR were built in the US was because of the high demand over GE. That has since ended and shut down. GE only came up to scratch with RR because they got British engineers in to bring them up to RR standard.

@SuperBuzz71 10 жыл бұрын

Where on earth did I see that? Testing development RR and GE combustors. My statement is based on first hand knowledge. Yours seem to subjective to proving some stupid point that British engineers are born smarter than American engineers. As far as market share, GE and CFM combined are almost twice what RR and IAE are combined so I'm not sure about your demand for product comment. Be proud to be a Brit but don't be an idiot about it
