LOS ANGELES — General Electric’s strategic push to increase the use of non-metallic materials in turbofans has taken a significant step forward with the introduction of the first load-bearing composite rotating part inside the GE90-115B. GE successfully pioneered the use of composites in the fan and casing of high bypass-ratio engines, starting with the fan on the GE90 in the 1990s, and extended the use of the lightweight material to the casing and other static parts of the GEnx family in the 2000s.
