The Wright bros would have been amazed, how far their dream of flying has taken flight today.
You know they didn’t really care much about airplanes, they just wanted to be first
I'm sure their jaw would drop looking at this technology.
"Their" dream? That dream has been around since people first saw birds but if you want to mention aeronautical inventors, Leonardo da Vinci should come first.
@@vondahe Many inventors put their dreams on paper which was only in theory,
but the Wright brothers took their dreams, and put it to practical test and fly like birds.
AND I AM KNOTT CRAZY QUACK LEGION
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.
I miss testing jet engines “( One of the coolest job I’ve ever had 🚀
I'd congratulate GE on their brilliant innovation, but looks like they've done that themselves already.
Yeah, heaven forbid they tell you about one of their innovations...
GE is a company like any other. As such, they rely on advertising to promote the products they manufacture. Any company is going to tell people about their product(s), what they're used for or even how they're made. It's simply the nature of free enterprise and ALL corporations do this. GE is a leader in this field and this is why they're so popular today :)
Actually do you know where ideas such as Ge's come from?czcams.com/video/nYTPG9lJiEY/video.html
not at all close... Trent is a triple spool
What about large birds getting sucked into them? Won't carbon fiber split?
@@jorgecallico9177 I'm pretty sure the leading edge is re-enforced aluminum or titanium or something much stronger to hand that type of stuff.
I love how I am watching this video. In 2019 after I was apart of the team that built the first 777x and got to help install the g9x engines.
5:16 "...heat resistancy [sic]..." ? The first instancy of that form I've seen. I wonder if it has the ability to go the distancy.
lol true
doubtfulstancy
Mega LOL
Engineering companies invent words simply because engineers take a lot of math but not much English.
Reminds me of when the Brits say some world leader is getting 'pressurized' by some other one. No, I don't think that's the word you wanted.
6:28 777 w/ RR Trent. Ironic.
I have always been fascinated with jet engines........ amazing technology!
What a fantastic piece of engineering The GE90, i can happily say that saw it first hand operating while working for United Airlines back in early 2000's, i was astonished once i saw a feet away the 777 engine compared to the 767 ones and others , they are no match to the GE90, just looking and hearing them while pushing for take off it's an amazing experience . They easily lift off the 777 and their payload with no effort . Truly amazing equipment !
I congratulate General Electric avaiation for their revolutionary engine
Next year they're planning flights from London to Sydney, about 22 hours.

+tiadaid Unless they're implying the Rolls-Royce engines are the reason that plane crashed and if the went GE they would have been fine?
it was a GE90 engine
Thanks again
GE BRINGS GOOD THINGS TO LIFE.
The GE90 start-up roar is like music to my ears!
1 of those engines is a LOT more powerful than all 8 on a b-52 combined!
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..
This is one of those videos that you watch and cant stop grinning from beginning to end ;-)
I love the thumbnail looks like he's flipping off the competition.
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.
.
+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..
+crabfat In widespread service? no GE did that first is what he said
soaringtractor lockheed was in the shit with the Tri star with or without the RB211.
"That is why a smart plane builder will use two or three engine choices to prevent that !!! DUUUHHHH!!!".............But lockheed didn't according to you....it relied on RR.
DDDUUUUHHHH!!!!!!!!
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.
soaringtractor I'm talking about after the plane had the engines and was in production.....so don't try that one.
"No darker Time for aviation..." Hello from 2020.
That 747 with 3 normal engines and a ge90 is just hilarious
That is only for a test
im pretty sure he knows that
Kahlil Hernández fine
Andrei Bondoc
haved you watched their video about putting their smallest engine into a 747
Lel no
I worked on the fan discs (main hub) for the GE90 engines back in the 90's !!
I would love to see an A380 or a 747-8i rocking four GE 90-115Bs
1whiteiphone load up KSP, you can build one!
Whenever a 777 taxis past a A380 the pilot says
“Nice little engines u have there Airbus”
The takeoff power of A380 is 300,000 pounds of thrust because of 4 RR trent 800 or EA each of this engine has a power of 75,000 to 80,000 pounds of thrust if 4 GE90-115Bs in A380 it is so powerful with a power of 460,000Pounds of thrust each GE90-115Bs has 115,000Pounds of Thrust also the A380 will not fly in longest range
The wings on the 747 cannot support all the of the thrust pounds but that would go faster than sanic
My Dad was a B17,24,25 mechanic over in England during WW2 with the 8th Air Force. He was only 16 yrs old in 1941 and had to lie his age to be able to join the Air Force back then. In fact he has 2 Grave Markers at our local cemetery. One from the American Legion showing him born in 1924 and his real Plaque with 1925. Americans back then didn't run away to Canada or where ever , to serve their Country. Many young Boys/Men lied about their age because they wanted to fight for their Country.My Dad loved the B17 and told me many stories growing up about how great of an Aircraft the Bomber was.
Carbon fiber superalloy ????? (3:50) It's either composite, or it's metal.
It seems like the front fan in a fanjet is essentially a propeller. It spins and pushes air backwards for thrust, like a propeller. It's like a turboprop.
theres a reason its called turbofan
If GE is so good, how come my GE toaster just sits there? Oh sure, it's does toast ok. But I want a FLYING toaster!!!
GE, get on that right away. It's important. Thanks.
Very funny.
Yeah and my GE Table fan doesn't generate 1000000 lbf of thrust either. But I like leaving it ON in speed 3 and pretending I am in a B777-300ER.

Jet powered toaster? Yes please!
yeah... what about my GE dishwasher?!? It weighs less than a GE90 but it still can't fly...
I worked on Gas Turbines a LONG TIME AGO, USS Constellation CV64 AIMD IM-2 Jet Shop (77-81) and all types. Rolls Royce, P&W and the GEs. 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!!!!!
A David will bring the Goliath down! Goliaths always get defeated!
I used to work for Goodrich. They were bought by United Technologies. I helped make the carbon fiber engine nacelles for 787s. For both GE and Rolls Royce engines. Good times.
At 6:27 the Emirates 777 takes off with a Rolls Royce Engine!!
The RR was made available on the 777-300, just not the ER model. Larger wingspan and extra fuel capacity required the extra thrust of the GE90. RR also available on the 777-200's as well if I'm correct.
Jeff D. yes u r absolutely correct. The RR's were available only 773 and 772's. The Emirates which takes of at 6:27 is a 773 not a 77W with GE's
vst9688 Yeah, Emirates used the Trent engines for their -200 and -300 planes. GE90s are available for those planes, but Emirates went with the Trents instead. As you said, though, only the GE90s are available for the -200LR, -300ER, and Freighter versions. Also, only GE9Xs will be available for the new generation of B777 aircraft.
vbscript2
Actually ... I was just reading a couple of days ago that RR is developing an engine also specially designed for the 777X series ... supposedly Boeing will offer it as an option. it's rated at 99,500 lbs. of thrust. It's the RB3025 ... here's the link. Enjoy !! www.flightglobal.com/news/articles/rolls-royce-pushes-new-engine-concept-for-777x-369294/
vbscript2 GE-90 proved more reliable than Trent 800 ..
my dad works on GE planes. so I'm super proud of GE's innovation in planes.
"Carbon fiber super alloy" Really
Either is a Carbon Fiber composite or it s a super alloy, not both
John Ritchie The alloy is carbon fiber skinned with another alloy over the leading edge of the fan blades.
@@chloehennessey6813 Sure. But the description given implies that the materials are blended. They are bonded, but not blended.
It's like saying Oil flavored lemonade.
As someone who actually knows a lot about Boeing, I think the video is awesome. Thank You.
Tend to prefer GE over RR, our British engines haven't been the best for a while, a few issues with certain RR engines
guitarplayerforu Where exactly do you get your info from? And brits can spot people MASQUERADING as brits many miles off
Im a brit born and bred, rolls engines are great and i got my information from aviation events that recently happened involving faults with RR engines. Both ge and rr are good makers
If you were REALLY up to full knowledge on faults for each engine you will find the number of GE in flight shut-downs and off wing maintenance hours FAR EXCEED RR. So your obscure reasoning makes you a gobshite. Go tell Tim Clark from Emirates just what you think after he has perhaps the most accurate compelling data of ANY AIRLINE with his fleet of GE powered A380's and 777-300's. Why on earth would he switch to powering his next batch of A380's with RR? Just for the fun of it do you reckon?? You lil' gobshite!
Dont you talk to me like that. Its called a matter of opinion, i never said rolls are not good engine's, of course they're good, but you cant deny the GE90 is the most impressive engines ever built. Yeah ek switched to rolls royce for the A380's from late 2016. Both makers are great.
It's not called opinion if the reasons behind it are not educated. It's called GOBSHITE.
"Coming in 2020"
Covid: No
Engine delays and issues: *Press X to doubt*
Great great great love it.. There is always a fun to fly in GE engines. Speacially if u flying with 777 fleet..
It's just like u switch a car Ford to BMW.
Don't you think the 777 is actually very noisy within the cabin?
Didn't realize this was an ad until it ran a minute or so... :-)
I am one stock holder who is praying that this is the greatest advancement ever and that GE sells a gazillion of these engines. Who knows we might see a $30 stock again.
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.
Pray harder, the ge stock is near worthless.
@@Tconcept BUY.
G90- 115B El goliat de los motores a reaccion , felicitaciones GE .👍👍👍
what's up with music while the people are talking.
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.
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

Best engine manufacturer hands down, been a fan since I was a kid and entered aerospace engineering 4 years ago because of you guys. Keep making stuff at home, don't let others get those trade secrets.
You're joking right? These engines are a product of British design and engineering knowledge from Rowe. You can't let others have trade secrets that were not American in the beginning. Rolls Royce are just as successful if not more successful. So much demand for RR engines that they built a factory in the US. The 787 had RR as the launch engine, and so will the A350.
adam willis
which factory is that?
There's always some clown like *adam willis* assigning credit for jet engine technology to someone else. It's quite sad how idiots like this simply can't handle the idea of an American company bettering a design or product rather than someone else, so "adam" fabricates some bullshit story of how the Americans stole this idea and took it for themselves. I swear, some people will say anything rather than give credit to the Americans for a specific design THEY developed. In the world according to adam the British also probably lay claim to **AIR** because they were the first to breath it. Pathetic.
Well, RR did build jet engines for airliners long before GE. And it was the Brits that invented the jet engine. So he has a point.
Mike Hawk Adam Willis actually quoted some FACTS there so just get your head around it. The large 3 stage turbofan design proposed by RR that became the RB211 existed on paper long before GE had any such idea. GE tried to simpify it with their 2 stage design. You YANKS have a hard time accepting other being better dont you??
Tat Orville Wright quote in the beginning is interesting. If one were to take that literally and apply it to the world around them nowadays, and to the things that everyone "knows" is right, what would the implications be?
Corners of the world. The World is round. No corners on a sphare
There will be when the kleptocracts have finished with it.
irumbarati comfirmed
Jet engines without their outer casings look so badass. Real life Pod Racer engines.
Go-GE keep em flyin'
I wouldn't say no one had thought of a fan that big before. Extensive testing was done on the exposed fan blade high bypass engines in the 1980's that no one ever put into service.
Back in the day at LHR you would occasionally see a 747 carrying a spare “5th engine” for another plane.
Thanks for this informative video on the GE9X Engine,and future engines.
GE 90 vs RR Trent XWB (both are literally "Goliath" engine)
Trent XWB for the win
GE90 is bigger and more powerful
also high thrust isn't what over the Pacific, fuel efficiency does that, you need the thrust to get you off the ground though
It's quite interesting that the fact that this engine was based on research and development done by NASA with millions of dollars of taxpayers money is not even mentioned and it is portrayed as something that a private entity would and could do by itself. Well they couldn't and they didn't.
GE loves to suck from the taxpayers tits all the while privatizing the profits in the hands of scumbags like Jackie and Jeffy.

More ILLEGAL US Government subsidies, just like Boeing. No the USA says those were "military research projects".
Some research is simply too risky for a CEO to justify the cost. There are many technologies that exist only because the heavy lifting was done at universities and with public funds. Our competitors in the world have full scientific support from their governments just like we used to. This why we keep getting new phones every year but truly new technology has slowed down.
They should try using it on the revamped 747-8 series. She'll really fly terrifically.
4 0of those might be too powerful for a passenger Jumbo, but all that thrust might give the Freight Jumbo a shot at going toe to toe with the big Ukrainian heavy haulers (Antonov 124 and 225)
They can build those engines, but they can't build a refrigerator worth a damn.
Psycho9263 🤣
Well, the GE I just got rid of lasted about 12 years trouble free. The ice-maker was poorly designed (IMO), but it did work.
This...👆I knew there would be a comment about this. Last two refrigerators I had were GE and total junk.
@thekeyboard warrior One fridge was my parents, the other my landlord's. I've actually never bought a fridge.
I have a GE fridge my parents purchased nearly 50 years ago and it still works.
How hot is the air inside the combustion chamber before fuel is injected? Obviously it has to be very very hot with all those fans.
ROLLS ROYCE ....The King of Commercial jet engines
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.
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
Matthew Trujillo I could get involved in a long, drawn out conversation on the merits of CF6 v RR Trent, but I think the comments section from this ATW article have saved me the time atwonline.com/engines/turkish-airlines-orders-more-ge-cf6-engines-airbus-a330-fleet. Worth a read if only to educate you with facts.

Awesome innovation from GE obviously, but I sure do miss flying on those old TWA and OLYMPIC Boeing 707's nonstop NY (JFK) to Athens, Greece, with those screaming Pratt & Whitney jet engines! What a lucky teen I was to have been able to experience that time, and the ushering in of the jet age back in the 60's!
I'll Never buy a GE consumer product. The last 10 I bought where useless after short use.
Dave George.
Coz now they are made in scum land
Nahh, the GE90 came about when 2 GE engineers took some pictures through my shed window. Pretty much identical.
Cool stuff, but in a weird way, I really do miss the screaming sound of the turbine engines of the 1960s, and also the smell of spent kerosine that used to permeate commercial jet aircraft interiors.
As someone living below an approach path to a runway, I don't miss the noise in the least.

A.M.P. Gaming it has four engines that's really not efficient. The a340 was built to combat the 747 but it's worthless now. The 777 beats that crappy airbus plane anyway
The A340 was discontinued in 2011 with only 377 built. The Boeing 777 is still very much in production with 1,417 copies. Guess which one the airline industry prefers?

great engine, truly marvelous. My GE Toaster oven is a POS even though its thrust ratio is 27:1
How about thinking about the passengers instead of the airlines...we are flying slower than ever with all these "great" engines

The GE90 was designed in the late 80's early 90's and had the first composite fan blades ever on a commercial engine. It's 2016 and GE is on it's 4th generation composite blades while no other engine manufacturer has any composite blades on their engines. The weight savings is tremendous and makes the GE90 the most efficient large jet engines on the planet. The GE9X will make the GE90 look like a mid 50's gas guzzling turbo jet engine. The GE9X will have composites in each area of the engine like the huge cowling will be all composite along with that beautiful extremely large fan blade. Around 43% will be composites along with new metals that GE is not giving any info on that is much lighter than Titanium with better heat resistance at higher temps while having more rigidity, it's also easier to work with.
Ghost Metal?
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.
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."
I guess you haven't heard about Pratt's geared turbofan Adam? It will be the quietest engine flying and one of the most efficient.
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.

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.
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
I need some intelligent to answer my question. Unfortunately I don't know what is called the nose of the engine were you see the cone shaped center were the propeller attached to. So my question is , why do this center have white lines in the tip.? Sometimes you can see it when the engine is running fast they turn into a blur 6.
Fantastic Video thanks
Only to be ruined by comments from some of humanities most intellectually handicapped people in the comments section. I really need to stop reading CZcams comments.
Here is your cape, latte and organic beard oil, Sir. ** hands over the goods to Captain Social Justice Warrior ** :D :D :D
I used to not read CZcams comments.... until the fire nation attacked.
I wonder if there could be jet/turbofan engines with variable pitch rotors in the future ?
WHY DON'T THEY PUT CHICKEN WIRE MESH OVER THE FRONT OF THE ENGINES TO PREVENT BIRD STRIKES TAKING OUT PLANES ?
well it would decrease the air flow so the engine would need to work extra hard, and besides this one doesnt require any, i saw the test videos the chicken turns to paste and goes out safely
Nomad Vids Thank you for answering my question are you an employee of G.E.?
Darryl Fry hehe no :P
+soaringtractor You know you are a moron when you finish all your posts with "DUUUUHHHHH"
soaringtractor Another pointless comment by the tractor fucking asshat.
Why did GE put the blueprint on CZcams?
Rolls Royce should just stick to making fancy cars with their very very very unreliable engines.
ryan smith Obviously another Yank who doesn't know shit. Rolls Royce were building engines before GE existed. And in case you yanks dont get the media feeds....Emirates have just selected Rolls Royce to REPLACE their existing supplier GE on the A380. So the BIG $ guys who put their money where their mouth is are quite confident in RR whereas you're just an annoying yank sprouting DRIVEL. You silly BOY
Nath D and you're a pissed off rolls royce fanboy that got trolled. hahahahaha
Now you're claiming to be a simple troll instead of the "academic" giving educated opinion. You're just a simple "shit for brains" yank! LOL
soaringtractor The only thing RR makes now is leather seats, and carpet for the car's! LOL
That is sad! i use to love the craftsmanship of a bespoke Roll Royce. My father would take me to the Roll Royce dealership here in the US, when I was a kid. Never saw them in the town I lived in, but when I saw them rolling down the streets of California, I knew it was something special.
The only Caveat I see is that because the engines are so large they would have to also replace the landing struts with longer struts to get the engine intake far enough up off the ground to keep them from being damaged by FOD. That means all three of the landing gears. That will also be cost prohibitive if they wanted to re-outfit their fleet with those new engines, so I am assuming that they will only go on the newest aircraft coming off the assembly line which would be designed to accommodate those longer struts.
Raise the wing i.e. 787
The GE 90 engine idea was never accredited or paid to the mechanic who gave the idea to an engineer on a flight to CA ..
What about the gas station attendant that suggested it to the mechanic...?
Being a true blue blooded American i do belive the ge90 is probably the best commerical jet engine out there RR engines are some of the best engines out there i hope im wrong on that i always want to think we have the best of everything but in my heart i dont belive that we do
Today's turbine jet engines were obsolete back in the early 2000's by an engine design that can easily produce greater than 10:1 power to weight ratios, and is several magnitudes less expensive to manufacture.
The GE flat top stove did very well with balanced heating
Need one of those GE9X on my mini-van.
