GEnx Engine Completes Flight Tests

GE Aviation’s new GEnx engine finished its four months of flight-testing aboard the GE 747 flying test-bed and logged more than 34 flights and 187 hours. GEnx also accomplished aircraft level testing to support Boeing’s 787 Dreamliner program. The flight test program required extensive modifications on GE’s 747 test-bed, including the installation of a heat exchanger to dissipate the energy created by the two starter generators on the GEnx engine.
