GE
GE has created a jet engine for Boeing's new 787 and 747-8 long-range jets - an engine unlike any you've ever seen.
With the GEnx, GE's out to build its best engine ever for jumbo jets. It's already one of GE's fastest sellers.
Its unique and dramatic look results from being the world's only jet engine with a front fan system made with lightweight carbon fiber composites. And how GE achieved it might surprise you.
These videos take you inside the creation of the GEnx, the result of decades of technology innovation.
The GEnx is part of GE's ecomagination product portfolio.
In the 1980s, GE created a most unusual jet engine called the UDF. And its carbon fiber blades were really the start of something big.
In many ways, GE's newest engine is a chip off the old block - the biggest jet engine of them all, the GE90.
Take a trip to the high country of Mississippi where GE is creating exotic composites for the GEnx.
Get a peek inside GE's unique laboratory in the sky - the 747 flying testbed - as the GEnx is tested in the California desert.
In the real world, a new commercial jet engine takes years to design, build, and test. We do it in just under two minutes.
The combustor of a jet engine operates at extremely high temperatures. Find out how GE tames this component by starting lean and staying lean.
Flying in bad weather make you nervous? Relax. GE throws a barrage of bad weather at its engines before you ever hit the jet way.
The Energizer bunny has nothing on GE's big jet engines. Learn how the GE90 and GEnx engines run and run and run.
