See inside the GE9X, GE's newest game-changer

in 1995 GE forever changed long-haul travel with a record-breaking GE 90 engine and its carbon fiber composite fan blades then we redefined what was possible with groundbreaking technologies that took propulsion and fuel efficiency to the next level in the GE NX and now we're doing it again the GE 9x will feature just 16 for generation carbon fiber composite fan blades that are thinner stronger and more efficient than any fan blade we've ever produced a compressor with a pressure ratio of 27 to 1 the highest in the history of aviation a next generation lean burning combustor capable of handling some of the highest pressures and temperatures ever seen in an aircraft engine you'll also use advanced manufacturing techniques like 3d printing to build components that were quite simply impossible to make until now and cutting-edge new materials including ceramic matrix composites which are twice to strength and a third the weight of metal the GE 9x will deliver 10% better fuel efficiency than its predecessor with noise and NOx emissions well below regulatory standards all with a world-class reliability our customers have come to expect from us it's this level of imagination and engineering that's helping us build a world's next great engine to power the world's next great airplane the Boeing triple7 X the GE 9x isn't a culmination of invention it's a starting point of where we're going next

I kind of wonder who GE is targeting with this "commercial." Their customers aren't going to go "OMG, composy-blades, 3dP woot, max-comp, aight!"

Their customers are engineers. They are going to analyze, test, and compare...and they are still not going to like the best performer.

Maybe GE is just bragging or doing PR...or maybe GE's customer's are becoming morons.

Nice, wish the GTF would make a video like this.

It's got incredibly good CGI, spoiled by the shittiest fade-to-monochrome editing effects ever to grace a digital production.

The advertising agency "genius" who approved such awful editing should commit seppuku. And GE Engines division should also be ashamed and thoroughly embarrassed for approving it.
