  General Electric Engines
The J47 was developed by the General Electric Company from the earlier J35 engine and was first flight-tested in May 1948 as a replacement for the J35 used in the North American XF-86 "Sabre".
The J73 engine was developed by General Electric from the J47 engine in the early 1950s.
General Electric Company (GE) was incorporated in 1892, when it acquired the assets of The Edison General Electric Company, founded by Thomas Alva Edison, and two other electric companies.

 General Electric GE90 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The engine is one of three options for the 777-200, -200ER, and -300, and the exclusive engine of the -200LR and -300ER.
The diameter of the engine (3.43 m) and nacelle are larger than the fuselage of a Boeing 737 (3.4 m).
Engine Alliance, a cooperative venture between GE Aircraft Engines and Pratt and Whitney, developed a separate GE90 derivative engine for the Airbus A380 called the GP7200.

GE's general manager CF34 programs, Frank Klaus, would disclose neither the identity of the OEM nor the proposed platform, but said talks were ongoing.
GE is almost giddy with the success of the CF34 since the first civil variant of the engine, the 8,000 pounds thrust (nominal) Dash 1A, was spun off the TF34 military turbofan in the early 1980s for a birth on the Challenger 601.
The fan for the Dash 8 series was enlarged to 46 inches in diameter, a two-inch increase from that of the Dash 3A, and new wide-chord blades were added, attached to the fan hub with pin joints as opposed to dovetails.

 General Electric
General Electric's story begins before 1890 when Thomas Edison organized his various businesses into the Edison General Electric Company.
Because of an expertise in power generating gas-turbines, the company was approached by the U.S. Army first in 1917 to develop turbochargers, then again in the 1940's to develop jet engines.
GE got back into the turbojet business with the excellent J47 and has been one of the top aircraft engine companies since.

 Ted Bailey Experience at General Electric Aircraft Engines   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
Because of Ted's experience in the design and development of large bearings for military gas turbine engines at PWA, he was assigned as the chief designer for all mainshaft bearings on GE's new GE90 commercial gas turbine engine.
The GE90 was to be the largest flying gas turbine engine ever developed and all mainshaft bearings had to be optimized to provide long system life to satisfy ETOPS (extended twin engine operation) requirements.
The high pressure turbine (HPT) bearings had a maximum operating speed of 2.5 MDN and the rings had to be made out of M50 Nil bearing steel to improve fracture toughness and slow the progression of spalling under high speeds and load conditions.
