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. [ 4 ]
The GE36 UDF for the 7J7 was planned to have a thrust of 25,000 pounds-force (110 kN), but GE claimed that in general its UDF concept could cover a thrust range of 9,000 to 75,000 lbf (40 to 334 kN), [30] so a UDF engine could possibly match or surpass the thrust of the CF6, GE's family of widebody engines at that time.
General Electric Company, doing business as GE Aerospace, [5] is an American aircraft engine supplier that is headquartered in Evendale, Ohio, outside Cincinnati.It is the legal successor to the original General Electric Company founded in 1892, which split into three separate companies between November 2021 and April 2024, adopting the trade name GE Aerospace after divesting its healthcare ...
The GE27 was developed in the early 1980s under the "Modern Technology Demonstrator Engines" (MTDE) program sponsored by the United States Army Aviation Applied Technology Directorate. [2] Sporting a 22:1 pressure ratio, which was a record for single-spool compressors at the time, the GE27 [ 3 ] was GE's unsuccessful submission to power the ...
GE GEVO-12, 12-cylinder engine used in locomotives, such as the GE ES30ACi, GE ES44AC, [6] GE ES43ACi, GE ES43ACmi, 3TE25K2M and MPI HSP46 Diesel Locomotives; GE GEVO-16, 16-cylinder engine used in locomotives, such as the GE ES59ACi, [6] GE ES58ACi, [6] GE ES57ACi Diesel Locomotives. HDL series [1] GE 7HDL-16, 16-cylinder engine used in only ...
The engine consists of a three-staged fan, seven axial stage compressor arrangement, single stage low and high pressure turbines, an augmentor, and produces maximum thrust of 16,000 lbf (71.2 kN) in the original F404-GE-400 model. The engine was designed with a higher priority on reliability than performance.
A GE36 prototype was donated to the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum (NASM) in the early 1990s, although it's currently not on display there. It was stored in the Paul E. Garber Preservation, Restoration, and Storage Facility in Suitland, Maryland after that, but I don't know the engine's whereabouts at this moment.
The General Electric H-Series is a family of turboprop aircraft engines produced by GE BGA Turboprops. The initial H80 is an updated derivative of the Walter M601 , while the H75 and H85 are later derivatives.
