June 15, 2016

The latest engines like the GEnx and LEAP can be connected to the data cloud to analyze their efficiency and operations. A jet engine with GE technology takes off every two seconds somewhere in the world. Says Sorota: “It never dawned on me it was going to turn over the entire aircraft industry like it did.”
