GE does make good aircraft engines.
The Dreamliner is my favorite plane!!!!! Fly it regularly.
You mean getting general use incandescent lightbulbs banned wasn't enough?
Sounds like replacing the faulty part requires a complete tear down then inspection and rebuild.
I wonder if they used cheap Chinese metal.
And GE has already started flight testing the GE9X-104 engine for the 777X.
The stub pipe broke off in flight, causing lube oil to spray and catch fire, heating up one of the IP turbine disks; the resulting rise in disk temp caused it to loose shrink-fit attachment to the IP shaft. The disk slipped on the shaft, going into an overspeed condition, whereupon it ruptured, shedding turbine blades. Some of the blades shredded hydraulic and fuel lines, causing leaks and a fire, and caused control system problems that resulted in number 1 and number 4 engines (meaning only one engine, #3, was fully functional).
Other damage was caused also, to landing gear and wing flap controls.
One red-hot turbine blade penetrated the roof of an elementary school building on Batam island while class was in session.
Rolls Royce was at the heart of the C-5A problems that crippled Lockheed.
Every corporation that sucked the Obama has been going down the toilet.
GE started going down the toilet after Jack Welch left.
