GE Aviation, part of the General Electric conglomerate, currently has the largest share of the turbofan engine market. Some of their engine models include the CF6 (available on the Boeing 767, Boeing 747, Airbus A330 and more), GE90 (only the Boeing 777) and GEnx (developed for the Boeing 747-8 & Boeing 787 Dreamliner and proposed for the Airbus A350) engines.
An important advantage of owning a Menasco engine was Al's appreciation of the economics of using off the shelf interchangeable parts whenever possible. His company was the only supplier of inverted in-line engines in the early thirties in the USA. They had reasonably high power, and a ready availability of complete engines and repair parts. [6]
The same engine ultimately reached 35,000 lbf (160 kN) of thrust in test runs. [6] The LEAP-1A was tested on GE's 747-400 flying test platform. [18] CFM carried out the first test flight of a LEAP-1C in Victorville, California, with the engine mounted on the company's Boeing 747 flying testbed aircraft on 6 October 2014. The -1C version ...
The Boeing 737 is an American narrow-body airliner produced by Boeing at its Renton factory in Washington.Developed to supplement the Boeing 727 on short and thin routes, the twinjet retained the 707 fuselage width and six abreast seating but with two underwing Pratt & Whitney JT8D low-bypass turbofan engines.
WASHINGTON (Reuters) -The Federal Aviation Administration plans to convene a review board in the coming weeks to consider safety concerns about engines on Boeing 737 MAX airplanes after two bird ...
The first engines entered service in 1982. The CFM56 was later selected to re-engine the Boeing 737. Boeing initially expected this re-engine program (later named the Boeing 737 Classic) to sell only modestly, but in fact the CFM56's lower noise and lower fuel consumption (compared to older engines for the 737) led to strong sales.
An engine cowling on a Southwest Airlines Boeing 737-800 fell off on Sunday during takeoff in Denver and struck the wing flap, prompting the Federal Aviation Administration to open an investigation.
Coming up with that could further delay the certification of its 737 Max 7 and 737 Max 10 jets — the shortest and longest versions of Boeing's newest narrow-body plane.
