GE90Engine

GE Aerospace

A giant in

the industry
Launched in 1990, the GE90 engine is GE Aerospace’s first engine in the 100,000-pound thrust class and became the most technologically advanced commercial turbofan engine in 25 years.

    Groundbreaking firsts

    1

    ST

    First composite fan blade

    Commercial engine with composite fan blades for double the strength at one-third the weight of traditional titanium fan blades – now a hallmark on GE Aerospace’s widebody engines

    127

    K

    First to reach 127K lbs. of thrust

    Engine reached 127,900 Ibs of thrust, a world record (since broken by the GE9X engine at 134,300 lbs. during certification testing)

    FOD

    Free

    First FOD-free core

    Engine incorporated inward opening variable bleed valve doors for a FOD (foreign object debris)-free core

    1

    ST

    First additive part

    Engine received FAA approval for additive manufactured compressor sensor

    The GE90 engine

    Watch

    Powering the twin-engine Boeing 777 aircraft, the GE90 engine combined record thrust and high reliability with lower noise, emissions, and fuel consumption to become an iconic jet engine recognized worldwide for its size and innovations.

    Maturation at its finest
    GE Aerospace has continued to invest and improve the engine. GE Aerospace engineers have enhanced the GE90-115B engine’s compressor, combustor, and high- and low-pressure turbine components to reduce weight, improve fuel efficiency, and enhance durability.
    • 3.6% reduction in fuel burn from initial launch specification
    • 60% improvement in time on wing
    • World-class 99.98% reliability rate

      GE90-94B Engine
      GE90-94B engine
      Rated at 94,000 lbs. of thrust, the GE90-94B engine builds on the proven success of the early GE90 engine models to power the Boeing 777-200 and 777-300 aircraft.
      GE90-115B Engine
      GE90-115B engine
      After being selected by Boeing to develop an engine with 110,000 to 115,000 lbs. of thrust, GE Aerospace delivered the GE90-115B engine, which now powers the longer-range Boeing 777-200LR, 777-300ER, and 777 Freighter aircraft.
