GE Started Testing The World’s Largest Jet Engine

How large is the world’s largest jet engine? So large that Shaquille O’Neil would fit inside it with Kobe Bryant sitting on his shoulders. Engineers at GE Aviation just assembled the first of these engines and put it on a test stand at the company’s massive boot camp for jet engines located in the woods near Peebles, Ohio. It’s a giant. The brand new GE9X is a winner in several disciplines. Its front fan spans a full 11 feet in diameter (3.35 meters), a world record. The engine also has 3D printed fuel nozzles and the most extensive use of parts made from lightweight and ultra heat-resistant materials called ceramic matrix composites (CMCs).
