Be much better without the music... would rather hear the sound of the engine!

Saw this from ShayCarl!

[Shipocute]

Looks like that's the engine is gonna be used for Boeing 747-800 series.

Looks like we got 1 Pratt & Whitney fan here... :P

The honeycomb sphere is to accurately calibrate engine thrust and reduce effects of inlet distortion, vortices etc.

@UstadonKaUstad ooo thks

[scagliettileopard]

What's the giant black sphere for?

[tetramoo]

Trent 900 Rolls-Royce..!

[v2600]

this is amazing great best engine in world.....

1-fiber carbon blades and fan case.

2-23,1 compressor ratio..lean mixture ,,,low temp. exit from compustion

[05u16hep]

Why do GE's have such large LP compressors compared to other engines? Being 2 shaft as well wouldnt that make it ineeficient to turn such large compressors at HP compressor RPM's 

[gasturbinefreak]

@05u16hep maintenance and down time are reduced. very important to the customer.

[porousorifice]

What was the big sphere that they put in front of the intake?

some kind of mega air filter?

@ 0:50

[legox50]

@porousorifice That dome is to simulate the engine in upper atmosphere because it restricts the air going into the intake just like how the air is very thin up high.
