General Electric Built The GE9X So Powerful That It Set A World Record For Jet Engine Thrust

General Electric’s (GE) GE9X engine achieved an unprecedented 134,000 pounds of force during testing at NASA's Glenn Research Center near Cleveland, Ohio. This remarkable feat represents a new world record for jet engine thrust, surpassing previous benchmarks by a significant margin. However, current plans call for the GE9X to primarily be utilized on Boeing’s 777X aircraft, representing a targeted application rather than widespread adoption across all commercial aviation. The engine was tested extensively between June and August 2019, demonstrating its exceptional capabilities under controlled conditions. Despite this groundbreaking achievement, operational implementation remains dependent on ongoing certification processes and market demand.
