The General Electric GEnx, short for General Electric Next-generation, is an advanced dual-rotor, axial-flow, high-bypass turbofan produced by GE Aerospace as the successor to the CF6 in its product line. It is one of two engine options offered for the Boeing 787 Dreamliner, the other being the Rolls-Royce Trent 1000, and it was also produced for the Boeing 747-8. Selected by Boeing in 2004, it borrows technology from the GE90, including swept composite fan blades and the 10-stage high-pressure compressor of that engine earlier variants, and it uses composite materials in its fan case. The 787 version removed the bleed air system that older engines used to power starting, air conditioning and anti-ice, in line with the more electric aircraft concept, while the 66,500 pounds-force GEnx-2B67 on the 747-8 keeps a traditional bleed air system.
