Shake It Off: GE’s Record-Breaking Jet Engine Is A Dust-Busting Powerhouse
At the Dubai Airshow this week, one of the most anticipated sights will be the Boeing 777X, Boeing’s new plane powered by the GE9X, the most powerful jet engine in the world. But thrust is just one of the engine’s many attributes. It’s also tough and the United Arab Emirates, a hot, desert country that also happens to be the base for two of the world’s largest airlines — Emirates and Etihad Airways — is an ideal place to talk about the engine’s brawn.
Data Plans: How Software Is Helping Airlines Take A Bite Out Of Carbon Emissions
Data may not be what makes the world go round, but it can help airlines increase fuel efficiency and, by extension, help reduce carbon dioxide emissions when their passengers are on globe-trotting adventures.
Wash And Go: GE’s New Way Of Cleaning Jet Engines Can Help Airlines Cut Emissions And Improve Operations
We have reinvented how to clean a jet engine. Meet GE’s 360 Foam Wash, the powerful approach thoroughly cleans a commercial jet engine, helping to improve its performance and potentially eliminate tons of climate-damaging CO2.
The Showstopper: Boeing’s New 777X Jet Makes Its Public Debut At Dubai Airshow
The Boeing 777X aircraft made its public debut at the Dubai Airshow on Sunday. Propelled by a pair of GE9X engines from GE Aviation, the engine can supply 134,000 pounds of thrust, more than the rocket used in America’s first manned space flight.
The Art Of The Possible: UAE’s Etihad Airways Cut CO2 Emissions By 72% On A Recent Long-Haul Flight
A routine commercial long-haul flight scored an important aviation industry milestone last week when a Boeing 787 operated by Etihad Airways flew from London to Abu Dhabi on a fuel blend containing sustainable jet fuel. The plane’s carbon emissions were 72% below those of an equivalent flight in 2019.
Come Fly With Me: Next-Gen Power Systems Offer The Comforts Of Home On Dassault’s New Business Jet

GE Initiates Testing on Second XA100 Adaptive Cycle Engine
Full-scale prototype engine testing in the AETP program is the capstone of a multi-year technology maturation and risk reduction effort to bring an adaptive cycle engine to full maturity in close partnership with the U.S. Air Force. GE’s first XA100 engine tests began in December 2020, marking the world’s first ever run of a flight-weight three-stream adaptive cycle engine. Tests successfully validated the engine’s ability to deliver transformational propulsion capability to current and future fighter aircraft. Engine prototypes assembled as part of AETP are designed to fit and integrate directly into the F-35.
