Read this about $GE new engine made of CMC http://www.pddnet.com/news/2014/04/next-generation-ge-jet-engines and look at how $IKNX has patent pending "breakthrough" tech on CMC being tested by the majors http://www.ikonicsaerospace.com


As a result, the CMCs are ceramics for superheroes. They are two thirds lighter than metals and tough enough to operate at temperatures 20 percent higher than their super alloy counterparts, at levels where most metals grow soft.

The materials and new designs will deliver big savings for airlines. The GEnx is 15 percent more fuel efficient than comparable GE engines and the LEAP could save airlines up to $1.6 million per airplane in fuel costs. They also generate fewer carbon and nitrogen emissions.

Making all these new engines, more than 8,000 in total, is a tall order. That’s why GE Aviation also started building seven new factories in the U.S. over the last seven years.
