Press The Boeing 777X successfully completed its first long-haul flight last Saturday, placing it among the largest twin-engine aircraft on the market.
What’s particularly exciting about this new aircraft from the U.S. giant is that its two GE9X engines incorporate more than 300 3D printed parts, produced by GE at Avio Aero in Cameri, Italy, and GE’s Additive Technology Center in West Chester, Ohio. Several sizes of components were designed, from temperature sensors to fuel mixers to heat exchangers.
