777X Receives World's Largest Jet Engines

• AviationToday Series

Hey guys, welcome to another AviationToday episode. The world's largest commercial jet engine, the GE9X, has just been installed on the new and upcoming Boeing 777X! In this video, we discuss the details behind the event and information regarding the GE9X engines. Enjoy the video!

Also, I hope you guys enjoy the extra video this week. As my winter break is now coming to an end, I will now resume my standard one video/week upload schedule. Thanks for understanding.

And as always, a fantastic day to you all!

I don't care what they put in it or on it. All I want is a little leg room.

[richardmorris]

Best looking passenger aircraft I've ever seen

[robertheinkel]

Wow, and I thought our CFM-56 engines were big.

[manyblueberries]

I can't wait to see the 777x at some point.

[caseytodd]

Perhaps after they get done producing and testing the largest engine ever built they can move on to the real challenge, and the real science...


A human-sized coach seat...

Nice video. The 777X is going to be lit. I travel back and forth a lot from North America to Asia so hopefully that will fly those routes often.

[meshackharrison]

Thanks so much I was waiting for this stuff.

[marco]

What an awesome big bird. Can't wait to see it flying around.

[Tim_]

One of my favorite planes triple 7, looking forward to this one.

[karlp]

The 777X will be (actually already is) a huge sales success. A larger but de-rated engine must give better fuel economy I guess...?

[cesiumion]

GE makes the best engines... Period...

[slickswings]

World's largest but not the world's most powerful. GE90-115B is still the most powerful with 115, 000 lbf of thrust!

[jerrytahaviation]

Wow! Massive engines! Awesome.
Great video, mate. :-) Liked! Greetz

[lloydbethel]

I trust it because I'm helping build it

[ricardohoyos]

THANK YOU 4 THE UPDATE! I JUST ADDED U 2 MY LIST! SALUDOS D MEXICO!

[isdrakens]

The reason the 777X doesn't need more thrust is that the wings are that much longer giving it sailplane lift and therefore demanding less power to do the same work

[MrPopo-bdix]

1:40 "composite" doesn't give it more thrust or lift but rather less weight. What minimizes the need for more thrust (engine power) is Boeing's new Boundary Layer Control feature which has to do with how they design the airplane's skin and wings.

[cnn-ie]

10 across seatings! I'm definitely looking forward to it.

[GTLTSlost]

Really hoping the GE9X propels GE stock / What a beating the stock holders have taken

[cjveeneman]

that is such an incredible looking aircraft!
