While our GEnx engines normally power the Dreamliner, GE Aviation’s latest version, the GEnx-2B, is optimized for Boeing’s brand new 747-8 freighter. The plane carries a quartet of these GEnx engines which can generate 66,000 pounds of thrust, along with an aluminum and composite body which allows it to travel the length of two football fields in one second. It’s also 16 percent more fuel efficient and able to lift 24 more tons than its predecessor. Now that’s a seriously powerful machine. Learn more about the GEnx-2B and follow our progress at the 2016 Farnborough International Air Show here. -- source link
