The Crazy Process of Testing World’s Most Powerful Jet Engines 

*_Former Boeing Everett.... where 777 and GE9 mega engines meet..._* First time I saw a GE9 series engine, it was already on a triple seven (777). It looked like many other jet plus engine configurations I have seen in the past. The true scale was not obvious until I saw a GE9 series engine on it's cart ready to install on plane. I walked up to, then onto the cart. Engine is enormous, front main fan over 11 feet in diameter. Add surrounding cowling, and the engine is too large to fit in a normal house. It would stick through attic and poke through the roof. They are that big. Not only are the huge, they deliver record levels of thrust too. In excess of 115,000 pounds of thrust. The 2 GE9's on a tripe seven give the plane almost sports car performance. They can go from V1 on runway, to V2 and then near vertical like a fighter jet. Truly an amazing sight with even more amazing sound.... Pure Power. GE would make bigger engines, but they have to wait for airplane companies to make planes capable of using them. Right now from 737 to 787 the engines are at maximum diameter to safely miss scuffing on runway, or sucking up asphalt. *_GE9x is larger in diameter than the Fuselage of a 737... yeah it's that big..._*

At 4:07 and 6:00 I see that the testing control boils down to a throttle taken from a medium sized boat. I guess it simplifies the graphics. Pushing this control one way or the other conveys the 'power' of the testing to us watching the video. It is like "Yeah, FULL SPEED AHEAD!"

De-looj ??? He never disappoints.

When the Challenger shuttle broke up in the air in 1986 , why didn't it have parachutes? Instead, it fell and crashed into the sea with all its crew

Is this an ad for GE? Everytime "GE" is said I wanted to take a drink. And the mid-video jump to afterburner and rockets? Pick a lane.

I got to work on GE solid metal stage one blades while at Airfoil Textron Lima OH. in the early 90's as lead polisher, one of those jobs that you look forward to go to work

Well researched and shared, especially for the rocket thruster engines. Truly amazing works of engineering

Nice vid. The way he says d'luge hurts my ears....del-uge lol

8:45 caught me off guard lol.

7:46 this is not an afterburner. This is an aerospike engine.

1:44 built a 4 billion dollar "planet"?

Good research video

Boa tarde seu canal é melhor primeiro a dar um salve e um bom domingo❤❤

"state of the art planet"? alrighty

I lived in Mukilteo for a few years, from there I could hear the Boeing test lab firing up the big GE's at paine field for boeing... INSANE, then when you get close like the airport

does anybody know a specific document or standard code for design of stand test?

Layperson here. Why do commercial airline jet engines not have blue flame out the back? Something about afterburners?
