Yo GE, this is no way of doing marketing. Not professional - what is the point of this ???? Silly !
ReplyDelete@likmahchoda My thoughts precisely! Too bad you said that over 8 months ago and can't relate to me anymore.
ReplyDeleteIf the GE jet engine is so powerful, why don't they put it in a car?
ReplyDeleteOr just put wheels on the engine and drive that around.

@robot015 It's no bs. Piston engines are almost a joke compared to jet engines. Jet engine are much more powerful, spin much faster, run much more often, and operate under much more extreme conditions than any piston engine, and yet they still don't require as much maintenance as a piston engine. This is mainly due to their lack of reciprocating parts.
ReplyDelete@bagelboi66 The main reason for this is that jet engines don't have any reciprocating parts. They spin smoothly unlike a car engine with the pistons getting yanked back and forth a hundred times a second. In fact, the faster a piston engine spins, the more it wants to fly apart due to the tremendous inertia and momentum of all the reciprocating parts. Jet engines are subjected to a lot less wear and tear due to their balanced nature.
ReplyDelete@bagelboi66 It's not ridiculous at all. Piston engines are almost a joke compared to jet engines. Jet engines operate under much more extreme conditions than any car ever will. They are used almost nonstop, they spend most of their time near full power, the fly through -60 F air, the turbines have to withstand almost 3000 F, they have a much higher power density and spin much faster than a piston engine for their size. Despite all that, they still need much less maintenance than piston engines.
ReplyDeletelol any car would last years if you do maintenance on it every 50 hours of driving :p
ReplyDelete@likmahchoda Haha that's exactly what I thought. Bullshit.
ReplyDeleteThe average Detroit car will easily last thirty years with the same level of maintenance that your typical jet engine gets, even a Pontiac. All of those cherry 60's Mustangs and 5-6-7 Chevs are proof of that. It's all about maintaining the machine, doesn't matter if it's a Solstice or a GE turbofan. This is a ridiculous advert.

I can't believe this guy is younger than 30!
ReplyDeletehe sounds just as stupid as a creationist..
ReplyDeleteclaiming bullshit
@AXHEJAZ could compare an ge90 to a Toyota camry lol, just keeps goin
ReplyDeletegay
ReplyDeletebeautiful engine the 115b can push 129,000 pounds
ReplyDeletedude you can't compare a car with a plane! come on man, you know better than that! compare another jet engine to the GE90, now thats a real show down
ReplyDeleteDo you know what Spiro Agnew is an anagram for, because it relates to you directly decentralizedtwat
ReplyDeletemake one that works on solar, then maybe I'll be impressed!
ReplyDeleteFloor looks filthy, not a good start.....
ReplyDeleteSouthwest needs better rims lol
ReplyDeletetalk about nepotism in the workplace...
ReplyDeleteu r hottttttttt
ReplyDeleteshe is cutie.....just wodering if she a man ?
ReplyDeleteI would like to study one of those engines up close
ReplyDeletelook up CFM-56B
ReplyDeletehey christi ;)
ReplyDeleteI like how he explains the difference between the engines on the different models of 737...classic vs. next generation...DUH. How about telling more?
ReplyDeleteVery interesting! I'll know a bit more next time I fly SWA. Cool to see all the parts!
