I wonder if these engines will be found on non stop flights from Sydney to JFK.

In their unrelenting lust for technology to steal, China has targeted all of USA jet engine tech as a priority for all their aircrafts, for both military and civilian. So these guys better watch out and have very good I.T. security and personnel security screening.

The GE9X engine itself is as wide as a Boeing 737 fuselage

That is astonishing!

Each one of these has more that 100,000 lbs of thrust and is more efficient than the current 777 engines. If a Boeing 747 (with a nominal empty weight of 404,600lbs) had four of these, it could conceivably go straight up!
