The GE9X has a fan diameter of 135 inches (343 cm), which is wider than the fuselage of a Boeing 737
✈️ The largest and most powerful commercial aircraft engine ever built
The GE9X is the largest and most powerful commercial aircraft engine ever built, incorporating advanced technologies that enable more efficient, quieter flight with fewer emissions. Designed specifically for the new twin-engine Boeing 777X family, the GE9X is the most fuel-efficient engine in its class, delivering unmatched reliability and performance.
Purpose built for the Boeing 777X family of aircraft
The GE9X represents a multi-generational technology development chain, supported by millions of hours of field experience. We have pulled learnings from other engines, including the GE90 and GEnx, to enable a more efficient, more reliable, quieter engine with lower emissions.
✈️✈️GE9X
Combined with the Boeing 777X, the GE9X delivers the best airline economics and profitability via reduced fuel consumption, emissions, and associated costs, and lowest environmental impact.
✈️134-inch front fan diameter
Larger than a Boeing 737 fuselage, the GE9X fan diameter enables a higher bypass ratio for maximum efficiency.
✈️ Fewer fan blades provide greater efficiency
✈️ Ceramic Matrix Composites provide greater durability
Expanded use of epoxy resin composites verse the GE90 is used for lighter weight and improved fatigue durability.
✈️ Environmental performance
The GE9X features the same world-class reliability as the GE90-115B, with noise and NOx emissions well below anticipated regulation standards.
