Discover the GEnx aircraft engine from GE Aviation. Building on the GE90 technology, this engine is quieter and more fuel efficient due to its carbon fiber composite materials. Learn how the GEnx is being used to power the Boeing 787 Dreamliner and the new 747-8.

Can someone explain to me why GE uses composite fan blades and RR uses titanium? Thank you.

@unabuna813 they do have them running in tests. just gotta search fro it.

And we don't have to pay taxes! Hoorah!

[unabuna813]

Notice they don't show an operating GEnx, because they don't have one. At least Pratt & Whitney has several operating GTF's.

I Know the dry weights of the GENx and Trent 1000 from Wikepedia (in German). In English it wasn't known. The dry weight of the GENx for the Dreamliner is 5642 kg and the dry weight of the Trent 1000 is 5402 kg. So there's some top secret knews for you.

[viceroytennis]

Good presentation. What infact is the dry weight of the GEnx? Is it the same weight as the Trent 1000? How long have carbon fibre blades been used on the 115engine? Interesting.

i google the price on a ge90 and it is $24mil a unit!! so u need 2 on a 777 thats 48 mil!!! without installation!!

[rb21122b]

Yeah, me too. That is pretty funny! lol

[type2mike]

Well, I knew they were at least that much but thanks for clarifying. Certainly far and away more than "a million dollars a unit", hahahaha, i'm going to be laughing about that one for a long time, lol!
