Description
Aviation decor. Custom made.
GE90 composite fan blade first-ever in commercial aviation. The GE90 fan blade is made from carbon fiber and a toughened epoxy matrix that delivers double the strength and one-third the weight of titanium. The GE90 fan blade uniquely curved design makes it larger, lighter and more aerodynamic than traditional titanium blades for reduced engine weight and lower fuel burn. Plus, the aerodynamic design allows the GE90 fan blade to pull large amounts of air into the engine, making it quieter and more efficient while generating 115,000 LBS of unrivaled thrust. Weighs less than 50 pounds.
Issued: c. 1990s
Dimensions: 72"H x 20"W
Manufacturer: GE Aviation
