In February 2012, GE announced studies on a more efficient derivative of the GE90, calling it the GE9X, to power both the -8 and -9 variants of the new Boeing 777X.It was to feature the same 128 in (325 cm) fan diameter as the GE90-115B with thrust decreased by 15,800 lbf (70 kN) to a new rating of 99,500 lbf (443 kN) per engine.

The 777-8 should feature a 13,000 lb (5.9 t) higher MTOW over the 775,000 lb (352 t) of the 777-9, for an improved range from 8,690 to 9,460 nmi (16,090 to 17,520 km). [ 96 ] Due to the Boeing 737 MAX groundings and the delayed first flight of the 777-9, in 2019 Boeing pushed back design and development of the 777-8 until at least 2021, for ...
The higher thrust GE90-110B1 and -115B engines, in combination with the second-generation 777 variants -200LR and -300ER, were primary reasons for 777 sales being greater than those of the rival A330/340 series. [19] Using two engines produces a typical operating cost advantage of around 8–9% for the -300ER over the A340-600. [20]
The company said it conducted its first flight on Friday night after receiving Type Inspection Authorization (TIA). The development is a boost for Boeing, which has been grappling with production ...
First delivery of the 777-9 has since been pushed back to 2026, followed by the smaller 777-8 and a freighter version later in the decade. Boeing's other 777X airline customers include Emirates ...
The 280 cm (110 in) fan has 26 wide chord titanium fan blades. [10]The Trent 800 is an axial flow, high bypass turbofan with three coaxial shafts. The fan is driven by a 5-stage axial LP turbine (3300 rpm), the 8-stage IP compressor (7000 rpm) and the 6-stage HP compressor (10611 rpm) are each powered by a single stage turbine.
The thrust-to-weight ratio is usually calculated from initial gross weight at sea level on earth [6] and is sometimes called thrust-to-Earth-weight ratio. [7] The thrust-to-Earth-weight ratio of a rocket or rocket-propelled vehicle is an indicator of its acceleration expressed in multiples of earth's gravitational acceleration, g 0. [5]
United Airlines Boeing 777-200 (N226UA, built 2001) lost the aft inner wheel on the left maingear moments after getting airborne from runway 28L at San Francisco-Intl AP (KSFO), CA. The wheel fell ...
