GE Conducing Ceramic Matrix Composite Components Testing For GE9X
// Aviation Week

As part of GE9X engine development for the Boeing 777X, GE Aviation has started ground tests on a GEnx engine containing ceramic matrix composite (CMC) components in the high-pressure turbine and combustor. The lightweight, heat-resistant CMC components will play an important role in the "hot section" of the GE9X. Testing is underway at GE's Peebles, Ohio facility.
