Engine Overview
Following an extensive technical evaluation, GE was specified by The Boeing Company to develop a 110,000 to 115,000 pound-thrust GE90 derivative engine for the longer-range 777-200LR, -300ER and 777 Freighter aircraft. The Boeing 777-200LR and 777 Freighter normally only require the derated GE90-110B engines.
Improvements in advanced technologies that were introduced on the original GE90 engine in 1995 are incorporated into the latest and world's most powerful jet engine.
This derivative engine represents the successful culmination of GE's strategy in the early 1990s to build a new centerline engine for the Boeing 777 family. During its testing, the GE90-115B set numerous aviation records, including reaching a sustained record 127,900 lbs. of thrust during initial ground testing at GE's outdoor test facility near Peebles, Ohio.
The GE90-115B entered service in April 2004 with Air France.
