| 1432502 | 2017-03-06 03:46:00 | The Herald strikes again. Just in one sentence; [QUOTE][When GE developed the engines in the 1990s just one of them was able to keep a Boeing 747 (normally a four engine plane) aloft during trials. Rocks weighing 200kg piled up behind the GE90 on the ground were tossed around like pebbles. During stationery test bed work tonnes of water, ice and dead bird carcuses were shot into trial engines to see how they reacted. The GE90 fan blade's curved design makes it larger, lighter and more aerodynamic than traditional titanium blades for reduced engine weight and lower fuel burn./QUOTE] "Aviation writer Grant Bradley will travel on Qatar Airways' longest flight this week. Look out for his take on it." Not only does that idiot reporter get paid for this, he also gets to swan about between Auckland and Doha. :groan: |
