The engine has an overall pressure ratio of 35:1, which is extremely high for an engine with a centrifugal compressor. Other cycle parameters are a bypass ratio of 5.3 and airflow of 240 lb/s (108.9 kg/s).
The Honeywell/ITEC F124 is a low-bypass turbofan engine derived from the civilian Honeywell TFE731.The F125 is an afterburning version of the engine. The engine began development in the late 1970s for the Republic of China (Taiwan) Air Force AIDC F-CK Indigenous Defence Fighter (IDF), and it first ran in 1979.
Biomonitoring Equivalents can be used for evaluation of biomonitoring data in a risk assessment context. Comparing biomonitoring data for a chemical with its Biomonitoring Equivalent provides a means for assessing whether population exposures to chemicals are within or above the levels considered safe by regulatory agencies.

GEnx on 747-8I prototype. As of 2016, the GEnx and the Rolls-Royce Trent 1000 were selected by Boeing following a run-off between the three big engine manufacturers. The GEnx uses some technology from the GE90 turbofan, [1] including swept composite fan blades and the 10-stage high-pressure compressor (HPC) featured in earlier variants of the engine.
The General Electric GE36 was an experimental aircraft engine, a hybrid between a turbofan and a turboprop, known as an unducted fan (UDF) or propfan.The GE36 was developed by General Electric Aircraft Engines, [3] with its CFM International equal partner Snecma taking a 35 percent share of development.

The engine, with a fan diameter of 134 in (340 cm), is installed in a 174 in (440 cm) diameter nacelle, with 1.5 ft (0.46 m) of ground clearance. [17] The engine and nacelle weighed 40,000 lb (18 t) with its new pylon and wing strengthening, compared to 17,000 lb (7.7 t) for the CF6-80C2s and its pylon.
As a result, the GE90 engine can only be air-freighted using an outsize cargo aircraft such as the Antonov An-124, which restricts shipping options if, due to an emergency diversion, a 777 were stranded needing an engine change. If the fan and fan case are removed the engine may be shipped using a 747 Freighter. [22]
For the Boeing 777, the 84,000–98,000 lbf (370–440 kN), 112 in (2.8 m)-fan version development began in October 1990, achieved 100,000 lbf (440 kN) in May 1993, and was approved for 180min ETOPS at service entry in June 1995.The 777 launch engine, it entered service on 7 June 1995, with United Airlines. The 90,000 lbf (400 kN) PW4090 ...
