NASAs first piloted experimental #aircraft in decades, the X-59 QueSST (Quiet SuperSonic Technology), is designed to fly faster than sound, cruise at 55,000 feet yet generate significantly less noise than previous #supersonic aircraft such as the SST or #Concorde.
.

.
NASA selected the F414, a GE fighter-jet powerplant, for QueSST. Dubbed the F414-GE-100, the engine will provide its traditional 22,000 pounds of thrust while also integrating single-engine safety features.

And the first F414-GE-100 engine for the X-59 QueSST has shipped!

Volume all the way up, #AvGeeks! Today marks 25 years since the #GE90 took its first flight on the #777. Tell why you love the GE90?

The #GE9X went through 72 test flights totaling more than 400 hours on GE Aviation's #747 flying test bed before taking its first flight on the Boeing #777X last week. #AvGeeks and #planespotters, do you where GE Aviations Flight Test Operations is located? #aviation #avgeek #engineering #pilot #testpilot

History was made on Saturday.
.
Just as the sun peeked through the mist on January 25, the maiden flight of the Boeing #777X took to the skies from Runway 16R-34L. Powered by the #GE9X, the twin-engine wide-body passenger jet spent nearly four hours airborne before returning to the airport.
The GE9X engine is the largest and most powerful commercial jet engine ever built. The pilots in the cockpit on the airplanes first foray had engines capable of providing a record-breaking 134,300 pounds of thrust available on each wing.

Since opening 26 years ago, employees at GE Aviation Durhams #manufacturing plant in North Carolina have helped build products for the companys biggest commercial engine programs. In August 2019, a group of assembly #technicians completed production of the 2,000th GEnx engine.
The #GEnxEngine, the fastest-selling widebody engine GE Aviation has ever produced, marked its 15th year since launching in April 2004. More than 1,900 engines are flying today with 60 operators of Boeings 787 Dreamliners and 747-8 aircraft.

Everyone loves the #GE90. #AvGeeks, #pilots and mechanics agree that the power and sound behind those 22 composite fan blades is music to their ears. But it wasn't always that way. Read how the world's once most powerful jet engine rose from the ashes. Link in bio.

Can you name this engine? It powers the U.S. Air Forces T-38 trainer.
.
Originally designed in 1954, the #USAirForce and #NASA are expected to keep this engine in operational service until 2040 and beyond. Thats 85 years!
.
Not bad for a jet engine thats just 18 inches wide and 45 inches long. We like to call it GEs Tough Little Guy. What is the name of this engine?
