Boeing to fit new 777X with GE engines

  • USA: Sunday, March 17 - 2013 at 07:17

Boeing has selected General Electric (GE) as its sole engine partner for the forthcoming 777X, indicating that the US aircraft maker was going ahead with the next generation of its most profitable plane, Reuters has reported. Rolls-Royce Holdings and United Technologies Corp's Pratt & Whitney had supplied engines for early versions of the 777, but GE was picked as sole supplier for the longer-range versions of the aircraft that went into service in the mid-2000s. "This decision to work with GE going forward reflects the best match to the development programme, schedule and airplane performance," said the vice president and general manager of 777X development, Bob Feldmann.
