You’ve Come A Long Way, Baby: FAA Certifies World’s Most Powerful Jet Engine

Tomas Kellner
September 28, 2020

Two decades ago, GE engineers fanned out across the aviation industry, asking their customers what they wanted to see in a jet engine. The list they came back with was lengthy, comprising some 300 items, but it was topped by a simple request: fuel efficiency. Fuel costs, after all, account for close to a fifth of an airline’s operating expenses.

Sump It Up: GE Teams Up With US Air Force To 3D-Print Parts For Fighter Planes

Sam Worley
May 19, 2020

In the 1980s, when the U.S. Air Force opened up what is now known as the Great Engine War for propulsion systems to power its F-16 and F-15 fleets, GE saw its chance to again become a major supplier of power plants for fighter aircraft. Its engineers had developed the engine for the B-1 supersonic bomber, and they used its powerful and efficient beating heart — called the core — to design a new jet engine, the F110. The move was a resounding success.
