2013年7月8日 -- 海南航空公司于北京当地时间7月7日上午11:00在海口接收了公司首架以GEnx-1B为动力的波音787梦想飞机。这是海航今年将接收4架B787飞机中的第一架。
"最近一个月来GEnx发动机在中国真令人兴奋，这已是继南航接收了两架之后的第三架由GEnx提供动力的波音787交付到中国了，"GE航空集团大中华区总经理向伟明表示。"目前中国的南航、海航和厦航拥有的B787机队全部选用了GEnx-1B为动力，对此我们感到非常自豪。这充分显示出这些中国用户对该发动机的信任。我们非常珍视他们对我们的信赖，并保证我们的用户在运营中将得到最好的服务和支援。"
"我们非常欢迎GEnx为动力的新型B787飞机加入我们的机队，"海航副总经理谢皓明表示。"我们相信，GEnx发动机的高燃油效率将使我们受益于更低的拥有成本，同时，GEnx的低排放和低噪声更有助于我们为环保做出的努力。"
Todd Rockstroh has spent the last decade on manufacturing’s vanguard, using lasers to “print” nozzles and other complex jet engine parts from bits of superalloy dust. Despite enormous progress, this process, which is called 3-D printing, remains a tricky terrain. Rockstroh, who is a laser processing expert at GE Aviation in Cincinnati, Ohio, has been working to eliminate as many unknowns as possible, starting with the material. “When we designed the nozzle, we wanted to make it from an alloy that was mature, well known and thoroughly tested, nothing exotic,” he says.
So you’ve developed a revolutionary new material that could take hundreds of pounds off a jet engine and save millions in costs, but now what? “We invent these fantastic new technologies and processes, but then we have to navigate the challenges that come with effectively scaling them up for production,” says Robert McEwan, general manager for new product introduction at GE Aviation.
GE has started building an advanced composites plant that will supply lightweight wing components for one of the world’s most innovative passenger planes, the Airbus A350. The jet had its maiden flight on June 14, on the eve of the Paris Airshow.
GE and Accenture joint venture Taleris provides Intelligent Operations for Etihad Airways
Dubai, UAE; June 19, 2013: Etihad Airways, the national carrier of the United Arab Emirates, has entered into an agreement with global technology company Taleris to launch groundbreaking new technology which can help predict potential maintenance faults and recommend preventive action.
Etihad Airways, the United Arab Emirates’ flag carrier, will tap the Industrial Internet and use sophisticated software to harvest and analyze gigabytes of data generated by hundreds of sensors working inside its planes. The tools will allow Etihad to monitor planes in real time, reduce fuel costs, manage plane maintenance, and even spot problems before they happen.
布尔歇，巴黎航展 /美国华盛顿州 肯特 - 2013年6月17日 - GE 航空集团通过与九寨机场方以及中国民用航空局的沟通协调，目前已新增七家航空公司加入所需导航性能（RNP）项目运行并发展RNP和仪表着陆系统（ILS）相结合的技术进一步扩展九寨黄龙机场的RNP项目。该项目将有利于减少飞行员和管制员在九寨黄龙机场（位于中国四川）的工作量。
"对于在该机场运行的航空公司而言，其运行效率的关键在于RNP和ILS程序相结合可以在降低着陆最低标准的同时增加全天候运行条件下的预测准确性，"GE航空集团航电及数据系统总裁阿兰 .卡斯拉维卡（Alan Caslavka）表示。"该程序同时也会与RNP复飞程序相连接，在需要复飞的情况下提供完整闭合的航迹引导。"
布尔歇，巴黎航展，2013年6月17日------自2012年12月至今，GE航空集团获得了350多台CF34发动机确认订单。这些订单包括：
* Aldus Aviation订购了5架采用CF34发动机的Embraer E175飞机和15架采用CF34发动机的E190飞机（1月）
People have been using ceramics to store food, drink tea, and tile their homes for millennia. But GE engineers recently upped the ante and started putting high-grade ceramics inside jet engines.
