Photographed by Adrian Pingstone in March 2007. Aviation News GE and NASA to accelerate understanding of contrails The "Contrail Optical Depth Experiment" (CODEX) is a research project conducted through a NASA and GE Aerospace partnership to study the formation and behavior of contrails. Contrails are clouds of ice particles that airplanes can create when they fly through cold and humid air. Persistent contrails are thought to contribute to climate warming. The primary goal of CODEX is to accurately measure the optical depth of contrails, which indicates how much light is blocked by the contrail. In the project, a GE Boeing 747-400 creates the contrails and NASA's G-III research aircraft (a modified Gulfstream III business jet) follows and scans the 747's wake with Advanced LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) technology to analyze the contrails produced by different engine configurations. This will hopefully lead to the development of engine technologies that reduce contrail formation. NASA Gulfstream G-III NASA's Armstrong Flight Research Center in Edwards, California, operates the Gulfstream G-III aircraft, NASA tail number 804, as an aerodynamics research test bed. Work with the aircraft is funded through NASA's Aeronautics Research Mission Directorate (ARMD) as part of the Environmentally Responsible Aviation (ERA) project under the agency's Integrated Systems Research Program. GE 747-400 Flying Test Bed Since 2010, this former Japan Airlines plane has been used by GE to test new jet engines, such as the GE90, GEnx, LEAP, and the GE9X. The plane is based at Flight Test Operations (FTO) in Victorville. F-15E Pilot Recounts Having To Switch To Guns After Missiles Ran Dry During Iranian Drone Barrage An F-15E Strike Eagle shot down so many Iranian drones aimed at Israel that they ran out of air-to-air missiles. The crew was ordered to continue and use any weapon available, which left the Strike Eagle's 20mm Gatling Gun, capable of firing around 6,000 rounds per minute. Operating this gun is said to be risky with small, low, slow-moving targets. In this instance, the F-15 did not stop the drone. Feel Sorry For the Flight Attendants: Iberia's New A321XLR Long-Haul Jet Features Tiny Galleys That Even Contortionists Would Struggle to Work in Iberia is the launch customer of the Airbus A321XLR (extra long range) single-aisle jet. The airline is flying the plane on a Madrid and Boston route. According to Saffran, the Airbus SpaceFlex V2 galley and lavatory allows for 6 more seats in the A321. The Airbus Space-Flex galley and lavatory concept. Airbus says the A321XLR features a 4,700 nm range, 180-220 seats, and 30% lower fuel burn per seat than previous generation aircraft. The plane was launched in 2019 at the Paris Air Show. Compared to other A320 family aircraft, the A321XLR carries more fuel, has strengthened landing gear, and includes a revised wing trailing-edge flap for takeoff performance. Airbus offers two engine options: the CFM LEAP-1A and the Pratt & Whitney PW1100G. The first A321XLR was delivered to Iberia on 30 October 2024 and conducted its first revenue flight on 6 November 2024. The first long-haul flight with passengers was on 14 November 2024, from Madrid to Boston.

On 13 June 2005 at the Paris Air Show, Middle Eastern carrier Qatar Airways announced that they had placed an order for 60 A350s. In September 2006 the airline signed a memorandum of understanding with General Electric (GE) to launch the GEnx-1A-72 engine for the aircraft.[8][9][10] Emirates sought a more improved design and decided against ordering the initial version of the A350.[11][12] The Boeing 777X is the latest series of the long-range, wide-body, twin-engine Boeing 777 family from Boeing Commercial Airplanes. The 777X features new GE9X engines, new composite wings with folding wingtips, greater cabin width and seating capacity, and technologies from the Boeing 787. The 777X was launched in November 2013 with two variants: the 777-8 and the 777-9. The 777-8 provides seating for 384 passengers and has a range of 8,730 nmi (16,170 km) while the 777-9 has seating for 426 passengers and a range of over 7,285 nmi (13,500 km). The 777-9 first flew on January 25, 2020, with deliveries expected to commence in 2024. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app

In this episode we discussed the GE9X jet engine and its increased power output and status as the largest jet turbine engine in the world. Boeing announced publicly that they thing hydrogen powered commercial airliners will be much more difficult than previously thought, and Allen weighs in on why this is probably correct. Lastly, we touch on some lightning strike news and discuss at length the future of EVTOLs - are they really as viable as many think, and who will win the race to the market (and profitability).

Full Transcript: EP29 - The New GE9X Jet Engine, Boeing's Take on Hydrogen Power & The Future of EVTOL Air Taxis Welcome back to the struck podcast. On today's episode, we've got a bunch of topics. First. We're going to talk about Boeing. And their assessment of hydrogen power, which they think it's going to be a pretty difficult task to get up to speed there by 2035, where it talks about the 737 max and FAA administrator has, um, committed to flying that plane coming up soon. So we'll chat a little bit about the implications there. There's also another hydrogen powered passenger plane from Piper that took its maiden flight and a recent, uh,  was struck by lighting in New Zealand. So we'll chat about that in our engineering segment, we're going to talk about the GE9X jet turbine engine. It's going to be used on the 777X, the triple seven, um, such a big engine, the biggest in the world. So we're going to talk about that. Also incredibly fuel efficient. And lastly, in our EVTOL segment, we're going to talk a little bit about the Embraer X concept, but overall, we're going to chat about the state of the industry in general. So Allen let's jump into it. Boeing thinks hydrogen is going to be difficult. Why? Allen Hall: Because you have to redesign everything. And when, I mean, redesign everything, I mean, redesign everything. You're going to probably start with a different looking airframe. Uh, so you're probably talking a blended wing type of design, which NASA was working on for years ago and Boeing was involved with, and some of those and which Airbus is also talking about now go figure. And every other piece of a fuel system. On that aircraft will have to change. And that, that includes the engines cause the fuel burns hotter. Uh, all the plumbing and all the safety features that go into, uh, making sure a fuel system works properly and doesn't endanger, the aircraft will have to change and that, and that means plumbing, clamps, brackets, uh, valves, or working at way different colder temperatures. Uh, you gotta worry about condensation and frost and, and, and Bredell elements and all the things that come along with working with a very cold fuel you'll have to. Does it redesign the system? So what Boeing is saying is guys industry, do we realize that it's not as easy as like flicking a switch and we can just basically plumb in hydrogen into this existing architecture because it won't work and we have to start over. And starting over on engine development, which is tremendously expensive to fuel system design and structural components and leak detection. And all those things that we do are, have to be start, are starting over. And we don't have a lot of history with any of those systems and the companies that would make those systems like a Parker. Uh, you named one of the fuel companies that, you know, Parker being one of the bigger ones, is that how they gotta, they gotta learn how to do that. So every part of the industry, no matter what tier you are in the aviation world, from Boeing being the, you know, the tier one and then narrow the suppliers down to little companies like our company will have to rethink how they do everything. ...

新しい時代の幕開けです。

Boeing to firma, która obecnie ma ogromne problemy. Model 737 Max mający być konkurencją dla rodziny Airbus A320neo, okazał się maszyna problematyczna, która praktycznie producenta pogrążyła. Mimo wszystko najnowsze dziecko Boeinga - 777X 25 stycznia zakończyło z sukcesem swój pierwszy testowy, prawie czterogodzinny lot. Inżynierowie z Boeing Commercial Airplanes zastosowali nowy rodzaj płatów nośnych. Za rewolucyjny system składanych skrzydeł odpowiada firma Liebherr Aerospace. Płaty wykonane są ze polimeru wzmacnianego włóknem węglowym (CFRP). Oczywiście tego typu rozwiązania miały już miejsce w samolotach wojskowych, jednak w maszynach pasażerskich jest to pierwsze tego typu skrzydło. Dzięki temu 777X zmniejsza rozpiętość skrzydeł z 71.8 m do 64.8 m, co pozwala na wykorzystanie tych samych lotnisk co dotychczasowe samoloty 777. Mechanizm automatycznie składa skrzydła po lądowaniu oraz oczywiście nie pozwala wystartować przy złożonych końcówkach. Czas potrzebny do rozłożenia lub złożenia końcówek to około 20 s. System prawdopodobnie działa podobnie do mechanizmów wysuwania podwozia samolotu. Ich otwarty stan powodowany jest siłą grawitacji. Złożenie końcówek natomiast wymaga napędu. Na pewno też zastosowano dodatkowe zabezpieczenia elektromechaniczne, jak i sprzężenie z wysuniętym podwoziem. Rozkładane końcówki muszą też wytrzymać wiatr wiejący z prędkościami do 120 km/h. Ich czołowa powierzchnia dodatkowo wyposażona jest w system podgrzewania, by zabezpieczyć końcówki przed oszronieniem. Boeing 777X występuje w dwóch wariantach 777-8 i 777-9. Pierwszy zabiera do 384 osób i ma zasięg 16 tyś. km. Drugi potrafi przewieźć 426 pasażerów na dystans 13.5 tyś. km. Samolot będzie potrafił więc obsłużyć połączenia 20 godzinne. Napęd stanowią dwa nowoczesne i największe silnik (GE9X) zastosowane w lotnictwie cywilnym. Producentem jest General Electric, a obrys wlotu silnika byłby w stanie pomieścić kadłub Boeinga 737 MAX. Jednocześnie obniżono zużycie paliwa o 10%, nie tylko dzięki nowym silnikowa, ale też dużej rozpiętości skrzydeł. To największy dwusilnikowy samolot o długości do 76.7 m i wysokości prawie 20 m. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boeing_777X?wprov=sfti1 https://www.boeing.com/commercial/777x/ https://thepointsguy.com/news/all-about-the-boeing-777x/ https://simpleflying.com/boeing-777x-routes/ https://www.cnet.com/news/boeings-new-777x-extends-its-folding-wingtips-to-complete-first-flight/ https://youtu.be/CVJodUengtk https://www.pasazer.com/mobi/news/38638/samolot,pasazerski,ze,skladanymi,skrzydlami,boeing,777x.html https://www.fly4free.pl/boeing-nowy-samolot-777x/ https://tvn24.pl/swiat/boeing-777x-pierwszy-lot-nowego-modelu-3316430 https://www.wired.com/2016/04/worlds-hugest-jet-engine-wider-737s-fuselage/

El 777X funciona con el enorme motor GE9X, la turbina de avión más grande jamás construida. Pero el motor ha tenido problemas persistentes durante todo su desarrollo y pruebas. GE afirma que los problemas del motor se han resuelto, pero las extensas pruebas necesarias para certificarlo no se completarán hasta finales de este año.

As work continues towards first flight of the GE9X-powered Boeing 777-9, senior editor Guy Norris talks to GE Aviation chief test pilot Jon Ohman about what’s involved with  flight tests of the world’s largest turbofan on the company’s specially modified 747-400.

We were joined on the Australian Aviation podcast by Ted Ingling who is Program General Manager for the GE9X. Ted started out life as a car mechanic and moved onto engineering and ultimately into aviation. He’s worked at GE for more than 38 years and has seen incredible development and innovation throughout that time. The G9X is the biggest, most powerful and most fuel efficient engine ever created by GE. The technology, skill and manpower that goes into creating a project such as this is truly inspirational. The G9X has completed 2 of its 3 critical milestones which are static testing and the initial flight testing. The final milestone is marrying the engine to the new 777X airframe which will happen very soon indeed. Listen in as Ted shares his deep knowledge in a simple and easy to understand manner on the most exciting engine project in GE’s history.
