Flying Boeing 787
Qatar Airways 787
General Electric has delivered the 1,000th GE90-115B engine to Boeing for the 777 assembly line. The engine was first publicly revealed as the GE90-11XB in May 1999, before being announced in July that year as the exclusive powerplant for the longer range 777-200LR and -300ER variants after a pitched battle with Rolls-Royce with its Trent 8115 and Pratt & Whitney’s PW STF. Since the first 777-300ER entered service in 2004 more than 1,500 GE90-115B engines have been ordered for the extended range family which also includes the 777 Freighter. GE logged orders and commitments for 400 GE90-115Bs in 2011, exceeding the previous record year of 2007 when 250 orders were taken.
