SOUND UP ⬆️🔊 MAX THRUST TEST – GE90-115B

Here’s a Max-Thrust test with a GE90-115B at the GE Maintenance and Test Facility Wales. After the super cool start-up, the engine is run for 60-seconds to check temperatures and parameters are operating correctly. The operator (located inside the test Cell) then pushes the engine thrust lever to full power.

About the GE90 Engine…

After being selected by Boeing to develop an engine with 110,000 to 115,000 lbs of thrust, GE delivered the GE90-115B engine, which now powers the longer-range Boeing 777-200LR, 777-300ER and 777 Freighter aircraft.

During certification testing in 2002, the GE 90–115B engine set a world record 127,900 lbs of thrust. The GE 90-115B ran for approximately 60 hours at triple red-line conditions (maximum fan speed, core speed and exhaust gas temperature) to evaluate the engine at its operational limits and demonstrate its capability beyond the most extreme operating conditions.
It took GE another 15 years to break the record which they did at 134,300 lbs of thrust with the new GE9X engine
Weighing less than 50 pounds, the GE90 Fan Blade is made from Carbon Fibre and a toughened epoxy matrix that delivers double the strength and one third the weight of Titanium

Tell us just how much you LOVE the sound of this engine. There really is nothing like it for sound!
