[[Narrator] This engine you see behind us here,]
[from a first flight perspective, operated flawlessly.]
[It did exactly what the engineering staff said it was going to do. ]
[It operated exactly the way they said it was going to operate. ]
[When you look at the technology, and how hard it is to develop technology,]
[it's a tough job. It's really a tough job.]
[There are very few companies have the capability, the intellectual capability, ]
[and the resources to do that, to take an idea--to take the imagination, ]
[and commitment to that imagination, to really make it work.]
[GE probably is one of the few companies that could do that. ]
[You look at our partners on this, and it takes companies and partners ]
[It's not something that you just go do.]
[It's not something that you can do overnight. ]
[We spent 2 1/2 years getting to this point on this engine with this airplane. ]
[When you look at GE's commitment to technology, to developing technology, ]
[to going forward with technology, and putting that technology in the hands of the customer,]
[that takes a pretty strong commitment. ]
[It takes resources. It takes intellectual resources,]
[and going forward, you kind of have to look backwards.]
[You look back to the days of Brian Rowe, where he pushed GE90.]
[GE90 was the push at that time.]
[They went, "This is going to be a great engine."]
[We flew first flight. We knew it was going to be a great engine,]
[but it took a few years, and it took the commitment of the company]
[If you look at the 115 today in the marketplace, God, what an engine!]
[It's really terrific, and so you sit here today looking at the GEnx and you say,]
["For the next 15, 20, 30, 40 years, this is the engine of the future."]
[This is ecomagination. This is imagination, the electric capability]
