GE Aerospace has announced significant advancements in jet engine durability and efficiency, achieved through extensive scientific research and testing. The company revealed that its recent fixes for several LEAP engine parts are projected to more than double the LEAP-1A engine's time on wing in severe environments, with similar improvements expected for the LEAP-1B engine by 2026. These enhancements draw on insights from the GEnx program, allowing GE Aerospace to introduce improved products more rapidly. Additionally, GE Aerospace has initiated early dust ingestion testing on the RISE demonstrator's high-pressure turbine airfoils, marking the earliest such tests in the company's development process. The GE9X engine, set for the Boeing 777X, has already completed over 30,000 test cycles-including 1,600 dust ingestion cycles-and is currently undergoing a second round of dust ingestion tests. These efforts aim to validate new hardware and materials, such as ceramic matrix composites and 3D-printed metal parts, under harsh conditions. The results have already been presented, with ongoing testing planned for the future.
