Widebody
Commercial Engines
Our engines power the widebody aircraft that underpin international trade and travel, ensuring that the world remains within reach for everyone.
Overview
Innovation is in our DNA
In a world that increasingly thrives on connectivity, the need to bridge distances—both for people and products—has never been greater.
Long-haul travel is on the rise after the pandemic. This is thanks to several long-term trends: a growing middle class in developing countries, increased need for connection around the world, and products from all over the globe that need to be transported to long-distance markets quickly.

GE Aerospace’s widebody engines – CF6, GEnx, GE90, and GE9X - represent the pinnacle of aviation technology.
- Translating into lower operating costs for airlines, reduced environmental impact, and an overall enhanced passenger experience.
- Powering flight in the most extreme conditions and across the longest distances, the durability and reliability of our engines, and the unmatched breadth and flexibility of our maintenance services have given GE Aerospace a market leading position: 57% of all widebody aircraft departures are powered by a GE Aerospace engine.
Creating increasingly efficient engines to meet the needs and commitments of operators is the driving force behind our innovation.
Powering the 777X, the world’s most efficient twin-engine jet, the GE9X engine is fully capable of operating on Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) and boasts the lowest CO2 emissions per passenger in its class. Its NOx emissions are 40% lower than those of any competing engine, underscoring our commitment to reducing the environmental impact of air travel.
Widebody Engines
GEnx
The GEnx engine stands as GE Aerospace’s fastest-selling, high-thrust engine powering two-thirds of all 787 aircraft currently in operation
GE90
GE Aerospace's first engine in the 100,000 pound thrust class that revolutionized twin-engine long-haul travel
GE9X
The lowest carbon footprint per passenger or unit of cargo, and a generation ahead any large widebody engine on NOx emissions
CF6
CF6 is the workhorse of the commercial aviation industry with 50 years of successful operation
