With first production engine deliveries expected later in 2025, the GTF Advantage will provide 4-8% more takeoff thrust, enabling higher payload and longer range, unlocking new destinations for airlines. In the high-pressure turbine (HPT), the enhancements include an advanced airfoil design with improved coatings.

This principle is fundamental in generating lift, thrust, and maneuverability, allowing aircraft to fly. Developments in aircraft design and engine technology have allowed us to fly farther, faster, and carry more payload. Thrust (how it moves forward). That force is called thrust. Wings do just that.

The airfoil is a Harry Riblett shape, giving modernized flow separation on the leading edge for a soft stall yet with good lift and drag performance. This is a Riblett-airfoil airplane with a slow stall speed (we got it down to 42 knots IAS and it didn’t stall) and a cruise speed of 120 knots. lb/sq ft Power loading 10.32
