The GE Passport is a high bypass ratio turbofan. The engine is a twin-spool, axial-flow turbofan with a high bypass ratio of 5.6:1 and an overall pressure ratio of 45:1. The front fan is attached to the three-stage low-pressure compressor; the 23:1 pressure ratio 10-stage high-pressure compressor includes five blisk stages for weight reduction.
GE executives Frederick A. Larson and Paul Setts also set the goal that the new engine would be smaller than the F-4's GE J79, but provide at least as much thrust, and cost half as much as the P&W F100 engine for the F-16. [2] Due to a fan designed to smooth airflow before it enters the compressor, the F404 has high resistance to compressor ...
The engine is used on the A220, A320neo family, Embraer E-Jet E2 and the Russian Yakovlev MC-21 (although exports were stopped as part of the international sanctions during the Russian invasion of Ukraine). The Pratt & Whitney PW1000G engine family initially garnered significant interest from airlines due to its touted fuel efficiency advantages.
GEnx on 747-8I prototype. As of 2016, the GEnx and the Rolls-Royce Trent 1000 were selected by Boeing following a run-off between the three big engine manufacturers. The GEnx uses some technology from the GE90 turbofan, [1] including swept composite fan blades and the 10-stage high-pressure compressor (HPC) featured in earlier variants of the engine.
The JT8D is an axial-flow front turbofan engine incorporating a two-spool design. There are two coaxially-mounted independent rotating assemblies: one rotating assembly for the low pressure compressor (LPC) which consists of the first six stages (i.e. six pairs of rotating and stator blades, including the first two stages which are for the bypass turbofan), driven by the second (downstream ...
Antibiotic use was not associated with an increased risk of cognitive impairment and dementia in healthy older adults, according to a recent study.
PW205B First run 1987. Flown in twin-engine MBB BO105 for demonstration only. [2]PW206A Maximum continuous power 550 shp (410 kW) [3] for use on the MD Explorer PW206B Maximum continuous power 431 shp (321 kW), [3] for use on the Eurocopter EC135
President-elect Trump announced two new foreign ambassadors on Tuesday in a Truth Social post. “It is my great honor to announce that John Arrigo will serve as the next United States Ambassador ...
