SOUND UP ⬆️🔊 MAX THRUST TEST - GE90-115B

Here’s a Max-Thrust test with a GE90-115B at the GE Maintenance and Test Facility Wales. After the super cool start-up, the engine is run for 60-seconds to check temperatures and parameters are operating correctly. The operator (located inside the test Cell) then pushes the engine thrust lever to full power.
About the GE90 Engine…
After being selected by Boeing to develop an engine with 110,000 to 115,000 lbs of thrust, GE delivered the GE90-115B engine, which now powers the longer-range Boeing 777-200LR, 777-300ER and 777 Freighter aircraft.
During certification testing in 2002, the GE 90-115B engine set a world record 127,900 lbs of thrust. The GE 90-115B ran for approximately 60 hours at triple red-line conditions (maximum fan speed, core speed and exhaust gas temperature) to evaluate the engine at its operational limits and demonstrate its capability beyond the most extreme operating conditions.
It took GE another 15 years to break the record which they did at 134,300 lbs of thrust with the new GE9X engine
Weighing less than 50 pounds, the GE90 Fan Blade is made from Carbon Fibre and a toughened epoxy matrix that delivers double the strength and one third the weight of Titanium
Tell us just how much you LOVE the sound of this engine. There really is nothing like it for sound!

Remember delivering there a few moons ago, the man hours building and testing these engines should give us all confidence when flying! Excellent! 👌👍😊

[@michaelgkellygreen]

Never get tired of this re-upload Gilly and Jerry. Great to have the text explaining the different stages. Of course the Boom is my favourite. What a unique and powerful sound.

[@scottgoode9874]

Absolutely amazing!! The camera was shaking in the test bay at full speed!!! Great production. Thank you GE.

[@GabbieGirl007]

I love hearing her engines . idk why she isn't named olga , or big bertha because she is one mighty girl .

[@captaindoggo69420]

Agreed

[@markc7556]

I remember in about 2006 being sat in the engine test bay at Manchester Airport with a Thomson B757 we had just towed in. We were asked to stay with it while it did it’s tests and the noise from the RB 211’s was just amazing. Watching the aircraft bouncing and wobbling about was a sight also. Seeing the nose gear compress with the force was impressive too.

Only a few months ago YT threw up one of your livestreams as a suggestion, 2k plus people watching an airport early on a Saturday morning, .....my curiosity got the better of me. Though I still would say I am far from a planespotter or aviation enthusiast, I find your streams, commentary and the wise and friendly audience to be utterly compelling. I've only been in an aeroplane 3 times, the first time I jumped out of it. The second and third, was somewhere around 2010, with Alitalia which I remember fondly. The one and only time I ever used my 10 year passport. Thanks Jerry, Gilly and chat, I appreciate you x

[@BigJetTV]

What a wonderful comment, thank you Billybobble, we appreciate you too!

3:37 This Sound gives me goosebumps 🤩

[@dolphins19671]

What an immense sound. Thanks for posting 👍🏻

[@olly7723]

Astonishing sound of an GE90-115B engine!

[@lw8945]

That is what I used to live for, I worked at GE and RR. She sounds amazing

[@SounderAU]

The engineering involved just blows my mind.

[@robertwilliamson922]

I love flying in the big Boeing 777-300ER aircraft….powered by a pair of these great monster engines. Fabulous ultra-long haul flights in the world because of these great engines. 👏🏼 👍🏼 😃

[@dianericciardistewart2224]

Awesome!! This was very cool to see!! Of course, finishing up with the end product on the triple 7!! Way too cool!! Love my heavies!! 😍😍😍 Thanks for this!! 😉👍😉👍

[@lesdonaldson520]

What a great sound on throttle up the close up spool up was amazing

[@jimmykvlogs2483]

Thanks for sharing that was something!!! 👍👍

[@adriandeb2710]

Best sounding jet engine ever

[@sandyhumby88]

Love the sound of this engine 😊

[@diesel1395]

Great sound ,fantastic power .Great edit Jerry ,Gilly

[@andrewhickinbottom1051]

Sounds just like Jerry's startup sounds :-D

[@frenchbrittaniy]

The legend of GE Aviation beats the Guinness World Record

[@stephenlittle7534]

Wow. How Cool was That.

[@vantonymccutcheon4518]

I love 💕 this jet engine so much 🤗 ge90 -115B Turbofans Engines

[@Mike7478F]

Awesome

[@pagan1959]

WOW Absolute amazing sound :) :)

[@_..-.._..-.._]

I love the little “Intel Inside” spiral 🌀 on GE engines 😂

[@_..-.._..-.._]

This engine made 127,000 lbf the GEnX did 135,000

[@joshstarks]

Wow amazing work

[@danielk3099]

amazing...pure power

[@melodee.r]

That was awesome 👏

[@top3787]

2:38 perfect

[@ShimrraJamaane]

All I can think of right now is taking this thing back to siege and rank and file warfare. This would be a super-weapon.

[@Gr3harrier]

Good video 👌🏿

[@user-eu4ue8ge5u]

That’s insane and scary

[@shreyaskulkarni4805]

Immense ❤

[@marksanderson8827]

[@jamalhinkson8819]

Awesome 👌🏽

[@TevilovesYT]

The CFM leap 1a and b are the children of this engine lol

[@DuncYo]

what power!!

[@slowpoke96Z28]

wish we could see some n¹and n² speeds.

[@djdag2000]

We are nerds😂

[@andriiyeromenkov6337]

Fuel is injected into combustion chamber, not into compressor

[@TC.C]

Was that Jerry making the sound or it’s from the real engine lol

[@planeup__3049]

It's a shame he lowered the power right after, the sound was perfect!

[@lastmanstanding9389]

Very inaccurate description of the start sequence. External air drives the starter, the starter drives the gearbox which is connected to the high pressure compressor via the tower shaft. The N2 now creates airflow causing the low pressure compressor/turbine to start spinning. At 20% N2, fuel is fed to the combustion chamber and ignition is initiated. Oil pressure is checked, then EGT is monitored for overtemp as well as vibration monitored. At 50% N2 the start valve ls closed (by the way, exact figures are engine specific) and engine run at idle for 5 - 10 minutes to warm up. The engine must pass the acceleration test, +-5 seconds to 90% of take-off power.

Me: OMG the GE90 is the best engine in the world GE90x: Excuse me? What did you just say!

[@planeup__3049]

The GE9X is more powerful, more economical, quieter and more efficient but in terms of sound beauty nothing can beat the GE90 which is music for the ears.

[@TheSimpleAviator]

@@planeup__3049 100% agree with you on that, nothing beats the pure sound of the GE90

[@planeup__3049]

@@TheSimpleAviator I don't know if you noticed, but the Trent 1000 also makes almost the same sound 👀 787 and 777 in force 💪🏽

[@TheSimpleAviator]

@@planeup__3049 true, didn’t actually notice that, thanks for that, every time I hear a 787 I’ll listen out 😆

[@aviationin4k258]

Qatar are retiring there 777s A330s and Even the A320s in the next 5 years I think the 777X is gonna be out anyway by then

[@justinmorgan2126]

Awesome
