바다를 누비는 제트 엔진, LM2500
GE는 오랫동안 항공기의 제트 엔진을 만드는 기업으로 잘 알려져 있었다. 항공기의 역사와 GE의 역사가 함께한다고 해도 과언이 아닐 정도다. 긴 시간 동안 수없이 많은 항공기에서 검증된 GE의 엔진은 내구성과 안전성을 인정받아왔으며 신뢰성이 높다. 그런데 이런 고성능 항공기 엔진이 몇 곳의 수정을 거쳐 선박의 엔진으로 거듭난다는 사실은 상대적으로 덜 알려진 듯하다.

Progress isn’t a 9-5 job. It can happen anywhere, at any time. We’re proud of our employees for going above and beyond the call of duty to better the world during COVID-19. #GEProud
Today, we’re celebrating all the #WomenInScience who break down barriers to make real progress happen. Happy International Day of Women and Girls in Science 
The day to day may look different, but that won’t stop these GE employees from making a difference. We’re proud of the work our people are doing to rise to the challenge of fighting COVID-19. #GEProud 
For over a century, GE employees have been solving the world’s toughest problems. Today, with COVID-19, those problems look a little different. And still, they're going above and beyond to solve them. Because whatever the world brings, our people will rise to the challenge. 
Thanks to @geadditive , parts with complex geometries can also have simply stunning designs. Just look at this a-CT7 engine mid-frame from the GE Additive Pittsburgh Center. Designed for the a-CT7 turboprop demonstrator engine, this mid-frame used to be traditionally manufactured with 300 individual components and 7 assemblies. With additive, the team got it down to just one piece, one assembly. Part reductions like this can result in higher performance and efficiency levels, as well as significant weight reductions. And that’s the job of an additive manufacturer: making the impossible, possible. #additive #3Dprinting #avgeeks #engineering
