GE gets support for new engine

General Electric Co. has agreements in principle with two revenue-sharing participants on its new GEnx engine for Boeing Co.'s 250-passenger 7E7 jetliner. Japan's Ishikawajima-Harima-Heavy Industries (IHI) and Avio SpA of Italy will design and build 27 percent of the new engine slated for a full test in 2006. Both companies are longtime revenue-sharing partners on GE jet engine programs. GE is vying with Rolls Royce to power the 50-plane launch order by Japan's All Nippon Airways for the 7E7 jet. IHI will oversee the low-pressure turbine and several stages of compressor airfoils for the successor to GE's CF6 engine. Mitsubishi Heavy Industries in Japan will also work with IHI on some of the parts, GE said. Avio, based in Turin, will oversee engine gearboxes and the low-pressure turbine. Negotiations with another revenue-sharing partner, Snecma Moteurs of France, are continuing.
