11ft In Diameter, World's Largest Jet Engine Takes To The Skies(Photos) by Explorers(m): 11:25pm On Mar 17, 2018 |
Incredible footage has revealed the moment that the world's biggest jet engine took to the skies for the first time, ahead of its planned maiden commercial flight in 2020. The huge GE9X powerplant, which is as wide and tall as the fuselage of a Boeing 737, is being built for the latest version of the firm's long-haul 777, the 777X 'megaplane'. General Electric has now begun flight trials of the prototype, after delays caused by technical problems stopped tests originally planned for late last year. The GE9X was attached to the plane alongside smaller engines to allow engineers to put it through the motions of flight without risking the safety of passengers onboard. It features a massive fan stretching 134 inches in diameter, more than 11 feet, and fits into a 14-and-a-half-foot nacelle. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-5509063/Watch-worlds-biggest-jet-engine-skies.html Lalasticlala, Mynd44

Dubbed the largest jet engine in the world, GE9X's front fans span 11 feet in diameter, its inlet duct measures 18 feet by 12 feet and can generate 100,000 pounds of thrust. This massive engine is the first working prototype that was developed to power Boeing's 777X aircraft and is was first tested at the firm's boot camp for engines near Peebles, Ohio. Testing of the engine was seen as a critical step. It will have the largest front fan in the world, GE says, at 134 inches (11 feet) in diameter, while its inlet duct measures 18 feet (215 inches) by 12 feet (145 inches). 1 Like

Rolls Royce has already tested its enormous Trent XWB-97 engine (pictured) in flight. With a fan diametre of almost ten feet it can produce 97,000lb of thrust during take-off 3 Likes 1 Share

In countries that do such stuff Daly, their leaders may not be saints, but they pump cash into the right areas of society. It's part of why gangsters like Pablo Escobar had loyal followers that couldn't snitch on him one bit. |
