General Electric has delivered the 1,000th GE90-115B engine as it continues to ramp up production in lockstep with Boeing’s move to a higher assembly rate for the 777 family. The engine, first revealed as the GE90-11XB in May 1999, became the exclusive powerplant for the longer-range 777-200LR and -300ER variants in July of that year. Since the first 777-300ER entered service in 2004, more than 1,500 GE90-115B engines have been ordered for the extended-range family, which also includes the 777 Freighter.
In the troubled world of defense acquisition, the U.S. Navy's Boeing P-8A Poseidon maritime patrol aircraft shines as a rare example of a program that appears to be broadly staying on both schedule and cost. After a slow start, test and development aircraft are racking up flight hours and the first production aircraft was delivered to NAS Jacksonville, Fla., on March 5, opening the way for the start of fleet training.
In the uncertain funded world of human spaceflight, the habit of die-hard propulsion engineers to never throw anything away is becoming increasingly useful as NASA looks for crew transports.
