Notes:
GE90-115B. With enough thrust to fly the GE Boeing 747-100 with the other three engines at idle, an attribute demonstrated during a flight test.
One of three options for the 777-200, -200ER, and -300 versions, and the exclusive engine of the -200LR, -300ER, and 777F. It was the largest jet engine, until being surpassed in January 2020 by its successor, the 110,000 lbf (490 kN) GE9X, which has a 6 in (15 cm) larger diameter fan. The GE90 however is still more powerful than its successor, the GE9X
747 pictured is Boeing 747 – MSN 19651 – N747GE
It was built by Boeing Aircraft Company at Everett, Washington and delivered to Pan American World Airways on March 21, 1970. It is the twenty-fifth 747 built. Following Pan Am’s practice of naming its aircraft, this airplane flew with the name “Clipper Star of the Union” until 1982 when it was renamed “Clipper Ocean Spray.” It remained with Pan Am until the bankruptcy of the airline in 1991. In March 1992 it was purchased by General Electric for use as an engine test bed. Since then the plane has flown more than 3,000 hours carrying various test engines for GE as they develop the engines that power many of the planes that are replacing the 747 in airline service. General Electric donated the aircraft to the Pima Air & Space Museum in November 2018.
First flight date 03/03/1970
Originally delivered in 1970 brand new registered as N744PA to Pan Am. Stored exhibited at Pima Air & space museum in Tucson, Arizona.
