GEnx
 
GE continues to pioneer the world of flight by making it more
energy-efficient and quieter. GE’s latest engine, the GEnx, uses
advanced compression and combustion technology to achieve
dramatic gains in fuel efficiency and durability while delivering
fewer emissions.

The GEnx engine has been selected by
Boeing for its new 787 Dreamliner and by Airbus for its new
A350 aircraft, both of which are expected to provide substantially
improved operating economics over today’s comparable aircraft.
GE expects to begin testing the full GEnx engine in 2006, with entry
into commercial service in 2008. The industry estimate for aircraft
in this category is approximately 3,000 over the next 20 years.
