I'm an engineer on the design team and I'm still amazed by it. Can't imagine people from outside looking in. I still sometimes go how the heck does it actually work
Cool video, thanks GE! Watching it at .25 playback via TH-cam's (cool) speed selector makes this even more interesting, including detail I would have otherwise missed. Looking forward to seeing this in full production.
From my knowledge, the supremely advanced core of the GE9X and in particular its very high compression ratio, might prove ideal to develop a hi-performance derivative that would replace the mighty fan with a three stage medium by-pass compressor that would accelerate cold air to trans if not supersonic speed but still generate thrust in the 90,000 pounds class (if not higher) with great efficiency. and the potential to propel a SP version of the next generation single aisle liner (757 class stretched to 210 feet length) to high transonic cruising speed. Air transport is changing and more people might appreciate the flight time reduction coming from cruising at 550 knots than at 430. JMHO
Braeden Wims hi! Mega late reply, but I actually work on the nozzles for this particular engine, and front start to finish ONE nozzle takes about 3 months with zero issues, give or take. And there’s multiple nozzles in one engine.
They're working in complete safety. You don't need safety harnesses, fall arrestors, helmets, gloves, masks, etc. when working on things that don't have those safety risks associated with them in the current operation. There's not much of a safety hazard involved with just bolting pieces together on parts that are securely supported at floor level.
Hard to believe the story of advanced technology when I see the old-fashioned design of the levers connecting the unison-rings with the variable stage vanes. And why the heck does a stage-of-the-art-compressor need 5 VSV-stages? Problems controlling the airflow inside?
For any latecomers: I think it's because, as engine RPM increases, any given lower-pressure stage begins to produce a larger volume of air for the amount of compression it provides, creating an imbalance with the next stage. The imbalance will cause the airfoils in that stage to stall and be unable to overcome the backpressure of the latter stages. It's almost like when a box fan falls on its face and the air can only escape through the blades in the wrong direction, and the motor runs faster because the load of maintaining a pressure differential is no longer present. A box fan doesn't have airfoils and only displaces the air, but you get the idea.
People are amazed how these things are built. I can’t even wrap my head around how they are even designed

@@Tunechi65 Yeah sure you are

Im here as a shareholder! go GE!
1:40 I think they left someone in there!
xsessivmc Ahaha I saw that too! 😂
xsessivmc
私もそう思いました！
Me too!
He'll leave very quickly once they run that engine up to power.
i hope he didn't get sucked to the engine :D
🎵 GE, we bring new plains to flight 🎵
Thanks, now I can build my own engines.
Please fire your entire marketing department and replace them with a video of engines running.
one i see all those loose wires I would just turn around and call it the day.
Yeah, those are not present in the aicraft, it's only instrumentation for testing the prototype.
Stupid music needed to hear the beast plus longer shots of the detail, this was pure tease.
Wow amazing video
were making the fuel pump for this engine. I want to get back to our test cell to see it run at full pressure. 3,000 psig. that's insane!
Pas de doute de la très très haute technologie
I'm like a "little girl" when I get to do a Ge9X Low Pressure Compressor :D Love GE, even the blades are higher quality than others O:) ehm ehm
The music sounds like an uptight garage band.
I was told that during testing the core engine had a turbine stall failure causing a compressor surge causing a fire in the rig.
I want to work with you.I work for Iraqi Airways.
Aircraft Technician And I love this job very much.
Amazing video! :D Such an inspiration!
Holy crap! How many sensors are on that?
Given that it's a developmental test example...ALL OF THEM, I think!
How about a test cell at location where the engine is built.

For a machine so awe inspiring and amazing whoever chose this song for it should be fired on the spot.
Totally unwatchable middle school production video.
Thanks GE 👍
i recognize some blade in this video that we do at my work.. some inconel shit in there ....
How long does it take to build 1 of those things?!
Braeden Wims hi! Mega late reply, but I actually work on the nozzles for this particular engine, and front start to finish ONE nozzle takes about 3 months with zero issues, give or take. And there’s multiple nozzles in one engine.
In 1:41 a worker get trapped inside the test room, I think he give their live for our security in air...
Notice the open hatch to the left of the main door? He wasn't trapped at all.
What is the cost to airlines - in US dollars - of this engine?
44m
👍👍👍
Iam wondering that,why those technicians working without any safety ?? GE should consider about this.. safety first.

Great video...but very fast....not easy to grasp the action.
This is static firing test
Интересно, сколько он стоит? Наверное от 4х до пяти милионов, когда россия начнет такие делать?
+Alessandro ciuru Его предшественник GE90 стоил больше 32 миллионов.
ни при этой власти...
Horrible music.I had to mute it.
Get rid of the music in your videos. It's annoying.
Why the stupid music? A bit of informative narration would be a lot better. It's not sodding MTV!
I think those hanging wires would give me a heart attack. It’s like a maze. Jesus Christ 🤦🏻♂️
WTF 1.40
That looks to be quite an electronics reliant engine 😳

All that just to make something spin around.
A lot more to it than that buddy 😂😂😂
the problem with these engines is they're just too simple. They need to have more shit hanging off them
A really ugly video, really bad, not worthy this engine. Thank you from Oslo.
dont show this, airbus will copy it .. as always
Airbus don't make engines
horrible sounds, instead of originalsounds.
Wanna know how to trigger GE ?
Rolls Royce engines are better
No it isn't use your brain before you talk
Влади́мир Комаро́в General Electric make washing machine ect Rolls Royce make well you know sexy cars
RR ruins brand image to airlines, while GE...
jet engine way too expensive. the monopoly needs to be broken down for real.
