Boeing Co’s effort to build the world’s largest twin-engined jet, the 777X, continues to be hampered by challenges with General Electric Co’s new GE9X turbine engine, a top Boeing executive ...

The GE9X is a testament to innovation and 21st-century aerospace technology. The monstrous new turbofan engine has countless new features, including some never-before-seen things like 3D-printed ...

There have also been issues with General Electric Co.’s new GE9X turbine engine that will power the jet.

The GE9X is the first powerplant GE has put through dust-ingestion tests prior to the engine entering service, reflecting an increased focus by the company on durability, GE says.

Though the GE9X and GE90 have established themselves as the largest, most powerful engines (of any type) to be put on an airplane, it is essential to note that these are gas turbine engines (more ...

↑ The intricate core of a GE9X is at the engine’s center. Turbofans work by inhaling air, compressing it, igniting fuel, and then using that energy to turn turbines.

IHI Corp will have at least a 10 percent share in the in the GE9X programme, and will design and manufacture components for the low-pressure turbine and the fan mid-shaft, GE said.
