| TechX | |
|---|---|
| Type | Turbofan |
| National origin | United States |
| Manufacturer | GE Aviation |
| Major applications | Bombardier Global 7000 Bombardier Global 8000 |
| Developed from | CFM International LEAP-X |
The General Electric TechX is a high bypass turbofan engine currently under development by GE Aviation. It is designed to power aircraft in the 10,000 lb to 20,000 lb thrust category, such as the Bombardier Global 7000 and 8000. It is being developed in parallel with the larger CFM International LEAP-X, and includes many similar technologies, like blisks and NOx reducing combustors.[1] GE sees potential in using the engine both on large cabin business jets and regional aircraft, where it will replace the CF34 in GE's product line.
Development
The testing of the engineering cores began in 2010, with a second core set to be ready in 2011.[2]
