- At the start of December, a video surfaced on Twitter showing the testing of a pair of GE90 engines on a SWISS Boeing 777 in Zurich. This test took a dramatic turn when the thrust of the powerplants caused damage to parts of a noise protection hangar. The visually spectacular incident left acoustic protection material strewn all over the surrounding area, giving the impression that a tornado had touched down in the middle of the hangar. Using this example, let’s look at just how powerful the Boeing 777’s GE90 engines are.

Not only can a single GE90 keep a full 777 airborne, it can also perform a go around if necessary. Going from low and slow to climbing out on one engine is impressive.
every engine can do that though. that is a certification requirement. still impressive though!
@@cfg003 their sound is the best
Insane
A single GE-90 can keep the 747 airborne
@@mingming9604 Not true. You need the rest of the plane, like fuel, wings, electrics etc with atleast one pilot to keep it airbourne
My absolute favorite aircraft must be and will always be the 777-300ER. And the spool up noise of the GE90-115B is just mesmerising
Same here. The 777-200/300 are my favorite planes.

The ability of humans to push the limits is amazing. Just when you think "no one will ever break that record", the record gets broken.
Wait till the RR Ultrafan comes out
The triple7 is an amazing aircraft. It just amazes me when we are training in the simulator and we do single engine go around, the fact that you can climb so easily on one engine while just holding the controls with your fingertips and not even having to have your feet on the rudder pedals (although we do anyways just in case) is just a fantastic performance machine...
Put it this way: just ONE GE90 engine generates more thrust than all 8 of the JT3D engines mounted on the B52 bomber.

My uncle worked in the design of the early DC-10 engines, there's been a huge performance upgrade since then. I love flying the "-200 & -300" 777s! Living in Seattle metro, I've seen the "X" sitting and flying out of Boeing and Paine Fields! Bring em on!!
Always loved GE engines. Only had 1 flight on a 777-300, but I can't count the number of time I've actually started and maintained the GE LM2500, a marine derivative of the CF6-50.
Am I a fan of the GE-90? That's like asking if I am a fan of going places
I see what you did there
Are you a fan of insanely powerful turbofans?
are you made of carbon fibre composite
The B777 is a modern marvel and is easily the greatest commercial aircraft ever created.
I've only flown on a B777 once and loved it - those powerful engines are amazing feats of engineering and technology, indeed.
The 777! Is built like a tank it’s solid and reliable. I’ve flown thousands of miles in many of them , most with GE90 engines
Powerful enough it took until 2017 during the GE9X testing to beat the GE90-115B record thrust of 127 000ibf in 2002 when the GE9X reached 134 000ibf though its maximum certified takeoff thrust is 5000 ibf less than its predecessor at 110 000ibf
I think it’s great that this GE90 awesome engineering work of art blew the doors off its containment area ! Simply awesome. I’m a huge fan of the GE90 and GE9X and all their variants as well as the Boeing 777 which they power. The sound of the GE90 is unmistakable and delightfully haunting !
"And are you a fan of the triple 7 and it's GE90 engines?"
Yes, I am a fan with all the thrust I can muster.
My wife and I have flown on quite a few 777 variants. The ge90 engines is a sweet noise, especially on take off.
Lovely sound, the spool-up and startup are very special.
Flew over the pacific quite regularly in the early 2010s, had the fondest memory of Virgin Australia's 777-300ER, personally a much better experience than A380 or 787, or the human rights violation in the form of an ageing 747.
My favorite aircraft, the 777-300ER 🙌
We had one installed on the 747 flying test bed and it flew the plane by itself. However, the GE9X broke the max thrust record
I didn’t fly on a 777 until 2019. Great experience but I’m really a latecomer. It was a Delta 777 and presumably retired from their fleet now.
Im a fan of the 777’s and the GE90. Yes, especially it’s engine sounds which are music to my ears.
another cool thing, GE offers variants of the GE90 for use as a turbine generator for ships and offshore oil rigs, it makes up to around 100,000shp
Reassuring from an in flight perspective to see the engine has the power to destroy the facility.
Those GE90s spools/takeoffs make my skin crawl 😍
Nothing better than the massive rumble in the cabin when the engines are turned on
@2:50 “as if a small storm had somehow parked over the hanger.” No, a small storm was parked INSIDE the hanger 🤣😂
Imagine standing on the back of a GE9X engine while the 777x is standing on its nose
You might as well be the first person to go to mars
Looks like great fun!!
Flown a few times from Heathrow to San Diego on British Airways 777. Not sure of engines but found the runway acceleration seemed more impressive than same journey on a 747.
I seem to remember hearing that a single GE-90 can pull the air out Madison Square Garden in 5 minutes or something insane like that.
That's amazing. Most definitely a fan😃😃.
You cant beat the sound of a roaring GE 90 at full thrust..
Yes I'm a huge fan of the plane and can't wait until I get to go on one.
After I started keeping records of my flights I have clocked 11 flights on a 777. It's by far my favorite aircraft, although that may change later this year when I get my first A350 flight if everything goes according to schedule. 🤩
“Giving the impression that a tornado had touched down”
Kind of a good nickname for this engine
I would love if you could convert the imperial units of thrust for example to metric units and add them in upcoming videos
The Boeing 777-300ER is without question an extremely good airplane, and only made better by the GE90 Engines, it's just quality all round, no matter how you look at this plane.
No country can beat the Americans in jet engine technology. GE Aviation, P&W and Honeywell are huge assets to the US.
Flew on a 777-200 yesterday that had them fitted!
@@techbyyatharth4618 777-200LR has the GE-90 engines
@@ezrafiroz8662 he said 200 only so i said it. But I also wasnt knowing that 200 lr also has GE90, so thanks for that😊
@@techbyyatharth4618 You might want to know non ER -300 (only sold 60 made) never had GE90 certified for it as no airline ordered it whereas 42 were Trent 800 and the other 18 P&W 4090-112. For the -300ER it was made the exclusive engine with the higher thrust variant
@@filledwithvariousknowledge2747 okay🤨
Thank you dude😊
Am I a fan of the GE-90? I routinely go out of my way to see BA288 climb out of KPHX just so I can hear those 90s sing.
Of course the 777 is my favourite aircraft. There is no sound in aviation better than a GE90 spooling up and roaring down the runway. It's a shame that the GE9X doesn't have the same amazing spool up sound as the GE90 but it's a lot quieter.
Fun fuct: 777 engine is as big as 737 cabin.
I am very much a fan of the Boeing 777!! ☺☺☺☺☺
Im surprised how simple flying used the Swiss 777 in the thumbnail
My favorite 777
My friend was working there that morning. They found insulation two miles away on a motorway..
From Singapur to London, in the middle of the night, we easily flew over a heavy thunderstorm, with 1080 km/h.
I felt very safe.
I sure am a fan of the 777, you can see me on it's engines, spinning like there's no tomorrow.
GE90 - the Chuck Norris of aviation engines.
Cool
The only engine delta tech ops couldn’t work on, thing is a beast
yes very much.....GE 90 is an awesome engine .....
The 777 will always be my favourite airplane
they really are in one strong force..
STILL MUSIC TO MY EARS GE 90 💝💝💝
Not sure about the "throw the heaviest tank in the world" claim. The heaviest battle tank in service today is the M1A3 Abrams, which tips the scales at some 80 tons.
Fun fact, the Abrams' main engine is a gas turbine adopted from the APU of the 767, which was later used for the 777 as well.
I was in the airport, boarding the plane and I was Amazed how massive those enginces are. I have seen the A380 engines as well they look small. I thought they are all the same but when I saw the engines of this 777 I was blown away. they are way way too big.
Engine spooling sound , GE90 vs RR Trent 1000 , would like to hear the engine sound please
Yes !!
Short answer is that the GE90-115b is the highest thrusting commercial high bypass engine ever !
It actually has a higher thrust than the new GE9x (115540 lbf vs 110000 lbf)
GE9x is more fuel efficient
Yes
Even tho the GE9X Surpassed the GE90, GE90 will still be my favorite.
These engines literally shake the ground.
Yes, you missed the fact that ONE of those engines can accelerate, lift-off ond climb a Boeing 777-300ER at maximum weight in case the other of the two engine fails at take-off after the decision speed V1. This is more impressive than "keeping the 777 flying after one engine fails". And another remark: When you put the title "How Powerful Are The Boeing 777's GE90 Engines?" - you should answer the question. The international unit for power is the Watt, or Kilowatt, or Megawatt. Please try to convert the non-international unit of "lbf" to ISO (international units) Note : The international unit for force is N (Newton). I have done the conversion to Newton, Watt, HP and PS. But I let you do the same. Enjoy learning something.
could the GE90 power the a340-600? only asking
B777-300ER ❤❤ GE90 ❤❤
American Muscle! 🇺🇸
Am I a fan of the 777X and the GE9X? Silly question. Of course.
You only fully appreciate the thrust from a GE90 when you lose one after V1 and take the old girl into the air.
Best engine ever
Is it thirsty machine?
The fact GE-90 The same diameter as a 737😭
It's safer to stand behind a B-1 Lancer during takeoff than it is to stand behind a 777-300ER during takeoff, if that tells you something...
Yes I am a *fan* of the GE90, nice word play!
I love the ge-90 world best.
I know this might sound crazy but would it be plausible to put two of these engines on a 747, considering how powerful just one is?
The combined power of the B747-8 engines is of 266,000 lbf, whereas the combined power of x2 GE9X Max power is of 268,000 lbf. So the answer to your question is YES. However, the wing design of the jumbo is to fit 2 engines each, so the weight distribution is different. In order for the 747-8 to have two engines, it would have to undergo major design changes in the wings and possibly in the fuselage and other components too. On the other hand, we must not forget that GE9X engines are operating max power if installed on jumbo aircraft, and these are not supposed to work under max pressure all the time because they could fail.
“Are you a fan of the….engine?”. I though5 the engine came with its own fan! Gee guys! Choice of words, guys!
The GE90-115B is rated at 115,000 lb. (514 kN) thrust, the most powerful engines in commercial operation in the world. Why we haven't seen more damage like this is actually kind of amazing. The upcoming GE9X-110B1A (GE agreed up upgrade the engine thrust to 110,000 lb. (490 kN) thrust in consultation with Boeing) on the 777-9 will probably generate almost as much blown air as the GE90-115B.
GE90 is so powerful ngl
It produces up to 115,000 lbs of thrust
Yours goes up to 11? Mine goes up to 12! (Apologies to Spinal Tap) 🤣
I would like four of them on a 747sp. Should be interesting😂
A noisy plane, can be heard in the cruise from further away than any other commercial aircraft.
they should let a 777 takeoff from st marrten
Noise protection hanger = Hush House
small engines 😳😳😳
Those are some thicc engine's 😅
This engine is just a BIG BEAST that likes to destroy everything 😂💪💪
Pov 100% throttle on 777X Ge9X
I really want to see the tank being blown by this engine, in a mythbusters type of video.
On engine start up the 777 can shake the ground
It's like I always say...go GE90 or, err, I mean GO BIG or GO HOME, ha!! 😉👍✌️
In a way, it was hit by a tornado.
The 777 & GE 90B is marriage made in heaven's so to speak. Both engine & aircraft are absolutely perfect combination for safety & reliability. To quote nat geo aircrash investigation on the Heathrow 777-200 ER crash involving the rolls royce variant engines, 777 is the gold standard in aviation safety. Feat of engineering to be marvelled at. Truly iconic.
GE -90 B is stated to have six sigma levels of inflight shut downs i.e. 3 times in a million flight hours.
When GE engineers sat down to make this series of engines they probably said lets build something flawless.
For the 777 aircraft type GE won the battle for safety & reliability hands down, rolls royce and pratt&whitney are distant competitors.
That's quite funny....
i think i need one of those engines attached to my car, which dead slow and lazy..
....."carbon fiber fan blades".....NOT!
Composite titanium/carbon fiber fan blades.....YES
How about the 9X now? LOL
Mmmmmm
ge90 engine who destroys?
Maybe Airbus Should Look at Replacing the 4 engines on the A380 With Two GE90.
That Plane Would have better success if it was powered by two engines instead of the current 4
