The GE Aerospace website (n.d) states that the GE9X is the “largest and most powerful commercial aircraft engine ever built, incorporating advanced technologies that enable more efficient, quieter flight with fewer emissions”. The engine, created to propel the new twin-engine 777X aircraft, is the most fuel-efficient of its class. It boasts a staggering 134,300 pounds of thrust. That is 6,400 pounds more than its predecessor, the GE90-115B. Even though it produces more power, the GE9X is designed to achieve 10% lower specific fuel consumption (SFC) as compared to the GE90-115B and 5% better SFC than any engine in its class (GE9X Engine Achieves FAA Certification | GE Aerospace, n.d.).   The GE9X boasts 16 fan blades. All of which, were made from carbon fiber. According to GE Aerospace, the fewer fan blades the GE9X possesses boasts the most efficient fan to increase performance and decrease fuel burn (GE9X High Bypass Turbofan | GE Aerospace, n.d.). With all these advanced features, th
