The General Electric GE9X is a high-bypass turbofan developed by GE Aerospace exclusively for the Boeing 777X. It first ran on the ground in April 2016 and first flew on 13 March 2018, powered the 777-9 maiden flight in early 2020, and received its FAA type certificate on 25 September 2020. Derived from the GE90 with a larger fan, advanced materials such as ceramic matrix composites and higher bypass and compression ratios, it was designed to improve fuel efficiency by 10 percent over the GE90. It is rated at 110,000 pounds-force of thrust, 5,000 pounds-force less than the highest thrust GE90-115B, although a test engine reached a record 134,300 pounds-force in November 2017. The fan diameter grew during development from 128 inches to 133.5 inches.
