Can someone please provide any additional info about this GE geared turbofan demonstrator mentioned at 2:59? I'm not able to find any info on web, about that.
I think he misspoke. AFAIK GE has never done a geared engine. Even when they were doing UDF in the late 70s early 80s they designed a crazy counter-rotating LPT to avoid gears.
All well and fine.......BUT.......Boeing has to get the Max back in the air !!!!! And how about GE get the new Genx9 up and running so BOEING can fly the 777X ???? Single source engine supplier may be good for the engine manufacturer but IF, and it will happen, something goes wrong in an engine, the airlines and aircraft manufacturer are screwed, re Boeing 787's with the defective RR Trent engines !!!! Good thing GE has an engine option on that plane !!!
@@lovesmuffins123 WRONG !!!!! GE discovered a "Wear problem" in the design and the engines that were installed on the first 777X have been removed and sent back to GE for repair/upgrading.....the 777X is not flyable now why it did NOT fly way back in June !!! They had hoped to have been able to fly it to the Paris airshow but that did not happen !!! Try and keep up !!!! It was suppose to have flown 2Q 2019 !!!!
@@jteamaz Problem is GE has had this engine up and running and testing for some time , BUT why was the problem not discovered sooner ???? Come on GE get your act together !!!
How about a GEnx as an engine upgrade to the Boeing 767-300/200. Could this breath new life into this airframe. As for an engine replacement for the 757, that is completely dead. Boeing officials sat on the hands so long that market has been lost to the A-321XLR
Allowing the Chinese aviation industry access to advanced aero engines such as the LEAP at a time when they are our greatest geopolitical rival, a growing security threat, and are actively trying to modernize their military aero engine industry is maybe not the wisest thing to do. On a side note, I'd argue that being able to install the LEAP on the already low-sitting 737 airframe without changing the landing gear isn't necessarily a positive. I know Boeing was going for commonality with older variants, but again, maybe that wasn't the best thing to do.
such a great series. Love it
GE9X and GE90 my favorite engines of all time!!!!!!! what if instead of 4 engines, you mount two GE9X on a 747 :D Boeing 747-9 MAX XD
Resin transfer molding which can allow for variable blade pitch as rotational speeds increase.
A bit as an automatic transmission to shift gears.
I literally watched all the parts I'm waiting for the next upload!

The 9x is very much up and running.... 2020 you will see this engine take off

@@wilburfinnigan2142 It's called testing for a reason. Problems found before EIS as it should be. Nothing to be worked up about...

@@wilburfinnigan2142 It's been in testing, that's how they found it. I don't know how else to answer the question.
Really hope 737max are flying
It's now that I realized that CFM is a Joint company of Snecma and General Electric, but it is a very damn good Engine
I wash there was a video that would talk about the EA GP7200 on the A380
19 people from P&W disliked it... lol
Or Rolls Royce.
ok to my projects to land ways land craft

The 787 is intended to serve as the successor to the 767.

Re engined 737 made the plane unflyable...RIP to those who died
The LEAP isn't the cause but how Boeing placed it. Not sure they had a choice considering the ground clearance of the 737
PW1000 is coming
