2. General Electric GE90 - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/General_Electric_GE90

   These blades provided double the strength at one-third the weight of traditional titanium fan blades. The 22 fan blades were a significant reduction from the 38 blades used in GE's prior large turbofan, the CF6, despite the 30-inch (760 mm) greater diameter of the GE90. Having fewer fan blades reduces the engine weight and improves aerodynamic ...

3. General Electric GE9X - Wikipedia

   The fan is housed in 134 in (340 cm) diameter case. [26] The GE9X has 16 blades, whereas the similarly sized GE90 has 22 and the smaller GEnx has 18. Having fewer fan blades reduces the engine weight, improves aerodynamic efficiency, and allows the low pressure (LP) fan and booster to spin faster to better match its speed with the LP turbine.

4. General Electric GEnx - Wikipedia

   Fan blades and outlet guide vanes of GEnx-2B Detail of GEnx core The GEnx is derived from the GE90 with a fan diameter of 111.1 in (282 cm) for the 787 and 104.7 in (266 cm) for the 747-8. To reduce weight, it features 18 composite fan blades, a composite fan case and titanium aluminide stage 6 and 7 low-pressure turbine blades.

5. Pratt & Whitney F119 - Wikipedia

   The shroud-less fan has wide-chord, low aspect ratio hollow titanium fan blades that are linear-friction welded to the disks to form single-piece integrally-bladed rotors (IBRs), or blisks. The fan and compressor stators and thrust-vectoring nozzle use a burn-resistant titanium alloy called Alloy C, with the first row of vanes variable in order ...

   It was re-designed exclusively for the 777 with a larger 112-inch (280 cm) diameter fan section using 22 hollow core fan blades. The PW4000-112 fan blade is a wide chord airfoil made of a titanium alloy, about 40.5 inches (103 cm) long and about 22.25 inches (56.5 cm) wide at the blade tip.

7. CFM International CFM56 - Wikipedia

   For example, the low-pressure shaft rotates at the same speed for both the CFM56-2 and the CFM56-3 models; the fan diameter is smaller on the -3, which lowers the tip speed of the fan blades. The lower speed allows the fan blades to operate more efficiently (5.5% more in this case), which increases the overall fuel efficiency of the engine ...
