I truly miss working in this field 😔 We used to test Military, Commercial, and Land & Marine engines at a GE overhaul/test facility in the mid 90s

Jet engines, always on cutting edge of materials and engineering . Please safe guard you advances GE.

It's amazing y'all hit production level so early, I can't wait to see it outfitted. The F135 was already amazing.

[randyhall]

Adaptive engines are truly the future. Need to be given the chance to be developed as ACEs will become mainstream soon enough.

[mcpraveen]

Amazing work guys all the best for the success and for the safety and effectiveness of the forces

[actualRocketScientist]

Someone please explain this to me does the adaptive part just mean they are changing the bypass ratio?

[toothlessseer]

Awesome video, it set my heart pounding and my patriotic fervor through the roof.
*_(Would have been even better if it explained what an Adaptive Cycle Engine actually is)_*

"the tyranny of distance".. i like it

[Merrymanus]

Amazing, pls see to that china doesn't hack your vital data democracies need you best wishes from India

[MiquelGorbiviUS]

I wonder what they're going to do with this engine now.

[phoneticau]

3D print compressor & turbine disks will be soon ??

[TheTurbinator]

If I had a dollar for every time they say warfighter....

[kyebean]

Could someone explain to me what the phrase "really kind of" means?

[ahmedeisa]

How much power does it generate and how fast it is

[babochee]

Would have more respect fpr GE of they didnt leak their turbine technology to thr chinese, enabling them to leverage their nuclear reactors to be more efficient in submarines and other applications....

[marcoasalgado]

Adaptive engines are a step back from truly revolutionary engines like a pulse destination drive.

[HenriFaust]

Why is it called "adaptive cycle"? Is it just branding?

[ariefibrahim]

Ilove for F35 engine...for Indo- Pacific region....!

[flyingcactus]

It suck so bad that they decided to go with the F-135 upgrade instead of this, what a shame

Looks like they snuck a hotdog in there…beats putting a roast under the hood on a long drive.
