The General Electric GE4 was a turbojet designed in the late 1960s as the powerplant for the Boeing 2707 supersonic transport. It was a nine-stage, single-shaft, axial-flow engine based largely on the General Electric YJ93 that powered the North American XB-70 bomber, with an annular straight-through-flow combustor and a two-stage turbine, and it ran on a special high-temperature JP-6 fuel. At 50,000 pounds-force dry and 65,000 pounds-force with afterburner it was the most powerful engine of its era. The Boeing 2707 program was cancelled in 1971, which ended further work on the GE4.
