Looks like ALL the new parts will now be tested together at GE....

GE Aviation will shortly begin running a test engine equipped with a number of advanced-technology components that will feature on the GE9X powerplant destined for the Boeing 777X.

The parts include combustor liners, high-pressure turbine shrouds and nozzles made from ceramic matrix composite (CMC), next-generation high-pressure turbine blades, and titanium-aluminide low-pressure turbine blades produced via additive layer manufacturing (ALM).

Set to get under way in the coming weeks at GE's facility in Peebles, Ohio, the trials will be conducted using a GEnx test engine fitted with the new parts.

Although the manufacturer has already performed extensive tests of the components separately, this will be the first time it has brought them together in a full-scale surrogate engine.
