Developed for use with the Boeing 777X (wider than the Boeing 737), it&#8217;s expected to be the world&#8217;s largest jet engine. So, when can you expect to see it in operation? Unfortunately, it won&#8217;t be ready for several years, with GE Aviation recently announcing 2020 as\u00a0 the projected date on which the GE9X will become operation. That&#8217;s not stopping some aviation companies from ordering it, however. Reports indicate that GE Aviation has received nearly 7000 orders, with a price tag of $28 billion.<\/p>\n<p>The GE9X engine is truly remarkable and analysts expect it will reshape the aviation industry. GE Aviation is producing many of its components using 3D printer technology, including light\/heat-resistant materials known as ceramic-matrix composites (CMCs). 3D printers turn digital images and &#8220;blueprints&#8221; of objects into actual physical objects using base materials. NASA is also experimenting with 3D printing technology, with the space agency hoping to print components for space stations above Earth&#8217;s atmosphere.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to the GE9X, GE Aviation is also working on a separate jet engine known as LEAP. Originally developed by CFM International as a joint venture, LEAP also uses 3D printed components. GE Aviation and CFM International have received 12,000 plus orders for the new jet engine, with a value of more than $170 billion. Reports indicate that LEAP was the world&#8217;s first jet engine developed for a passenger plane using parts from 3D printers.<\/p>\n<p>GE Aviation says it has already invested $4.3 billion in domestic costs and $1.1 billion abroad to produce the engines. These investments include funds to construct nearly half a dozen new manufacturing facilities in locations such as Mississippi, Alabama, North Carolina, Indiana and Alabama. Furthermore, GE Aviation is the process of upgrading many of its existing facilities.<\/p>\n<p>When speaking about the project, Colleen Athans of GE Aviation explained by saying the company is working on &#8220;highly proprietary technologies&#8221; that increase its manufacturing capabilities in the United States.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;<em>GE Aviation is a global company with significant technology capability around the world,<\/em>\u201d said Colleen Athans, vice president and general manager of the GE Aviation Supply Chain.\u00a0\u201c<em>At the same time, we are introducing several highly proprietary technologies that are upping our manufacturing capabilities in the United States<\/em>.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>What do you think of GE Aviation&#8217;s new jet engines?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>General Electric (GE) Aviation has announced plans to develop a new line of jet engines for Boeing&#8217;s upcoming passenger jet.
