  General Electric GEnx Information
The General Electric GEnx (General Electric Next-generation) is an advanced turbofan under development by GE Aviation for the Boeing 787.
Both General Electric and Rolls-Royce have confirmed that they are in talks with Airbus with regard to supplying bleed air versions of their new generation engines for the Airbus competitor to the 787, the A350.
General Electric began initial test runs of the bleedless GEnx variant on March 19, 2006.

This was derived from the T-38 Talon and the Learjet General Electric J85/CJ610 turbojet (2,850 lbf or 12,650 N) to power the larger Rockwell Sabreliner 75/80 model aircraft, as well as the Dassault Falcon 20 with about a 50% increase in thrust (4,200 lbf or 18,700 N).
One of the earliest turbofans was a derivative of the General Electric J79 turbojet, known as the CJ805, which featured an integrated aft fan/low pressure (LP) turbine unit located in the turbojet exhaust jetpipe.
General Electric CF6, GE90 and GEnx plus Pratt & Whitney JT9D and PW4000) feature an IP compressor mounted on the LP shaft and driven, like the fan, by the LP turbine, the mechanical speed of which is dictated by the tip speed and diameter of the fan.

GE engineers are working on a hybrid locomotive that would capture energy released when the locomotive applies its brakes to slow its 207 tons and then save that energy in batteries for later usage.
This stored energy could be capable of generating a 2,000-horsepower boost and would use 15% less fuel than the industry-leading GE Evolution locomotive — enough energy to power 150 households.
The GEnx aircraft engine also reduces noise by as much as 30% and has been selected by Boeing and Airbus for their new aircraft.
