Big birthday, big engine. 🎂🌀
This Independence Day, American ingenuity is on full display on the National Mall. 🇺🇸
From developing the first U.S. jet engine in Lynn, Massachusetts, to the world’s largest and most powerful commercial aircraft engine in the GE9X, we are proud to be an American company inventing the future of flight in the United States for more than 100 years.
Happy 250th Independence Day! 🇺🇸

When Alex Hills first saw the video rendering of the #CFMRISE open fan engine demonstrator he thought, "Wouldn't it be cool if there was a physical model?"
So he decided to reverse engineer one, for fun. 🤩 https://t.co/Rhk23uUYQ9

Open fan is one of the advanced engine architectures @CFM_engines is exploring through the CFM RISE Program. As chief engineer @lorence_chris explains, open fan has become simpler and lighter than previous designs: https://t.co/MfmwNJoYN5
GE Aviation is a leader in developing jet turbine engines that are compatible with sustainable aviation fuel. Today, I met with GE Aviation Leadership, toured the facility, and saw a suite of engine technologies that will play a role in our fight against climate change.
Congratulations to @TextronAviation on the first flight of the @Beechcraft Denali, powered by the GE Catalyst engine. 🛫
A legendary milestone, indeed! 👏
If it feels like all the good ideas are taken, keep going. 💡
Chief #engineer Chris Lorence outlines how open fan architecture has evolved into the radical change the #aviation industry needs to achieve net zero emissions by 2050.
