GE9X engine soars

The GE9X engine lifted off on March 13 under wing of GE Aviation’s 747 flying testbed in Victorville, California, for its first flight test.

Music killed it, we want engine noise

*REMOVE THE MUSIC. WE WANT TO **_HEAR_** THE ENGINE.* (You know, the _primary topic_ of this entire video...)

In awe at the size of this lad, absolute unit.

[longislandsound]

can you guys upload a standalone video of the 9X startup without background music? the internet still doesn't know what this thing sounds like.

[ChinnuWoW]

What was the purpose of adding shit music to replace the sound of the engines?

[LeshVarg]

Can't wait to see this on the 777x. BTW, there was no need for the music. The engine sound sound is music enough. :)

[noahdemerly]

Proud to be a part of this effort and to be one of the people who helped integrate this record setting engine!

How about a boeing 747-9 with 4 ge9x engines?

[Van-Hammer]

The ONE thing I hate the most. An aviation video with stupid music. Only music should be that of the engines. Awesome looking turbofan by the way.

0:30 love how they put "cleared for takeoff" on the vid as the 747 is already rolling down the runway

Ok so I know this was a test but I’m pretty sure this could be dangerous. The huge engine goes above the wing of the aircraft, which is what the 737 max is like. A higher engine could lead to a stall, like the 737 max. So, they used MCAS on the 737 max. It’s just that the engine is way too high.

That engine really sticks out like a soar thumb lol

What an engine! What a aircraft! I'm really excited for the Triple 7X. It will be a great airplane.
Greetings from Brazil!

Why? Why do the marketing departments insist on using some kind of music when displaying these awesome technologies. I get it, it''s exciting, but it's just to distracting! (rant over)

[devonopdendries]

This is the kind of music I'd listen to while smashing a beer can against my forehead.

[robcassel]

I know it's not possible. I want to see a 747 with 4 of these on it. Imagine how much faster you could get almost 400 passengers. :D Costs be DAMNED!

“I don’t understand guys: we can only turn left” 🤣🤣🤣

[CampanasEspañolas]

how could this boeing 747 carry a giant engine at the wings, incredible

[renos]

Thats really cool. Awesome piece of engineering.

[winglet]

That engine makes the others look like RC engines
