GE Aviation sees its path clearly: progress or die. Its century-spanning innovation

led to the nation’s first jet engine and the world’s most powerful jet engine.

The latter, the legendary GE90, which powers the Boeing 777, was a result of

$2 billion in development costs. GE faced a chorus of naysayers saying, “It

can’t be done. These new materials won’t work.” First it was carbon fiber. Then

with the derivative GEnx that power Boeing’s 787 Dreamliner and 747-8, it was

next-gen 3D aerodynamic design. GE pressed on. Seeking ways to push every

part of the engine to its optimal balance, between performance and weight,

durability and reliability. GE helps planes to fly more efficiently. And it does it

beautifully. New York’s Museum of Modern Art displays the GE90-115B’s graceful

fan blade, while the Guinness Book of World Records notes this engine generates

60% more thrust than the rocket that launched the first American into space.
