  1. Wow,
    This was an interesting article.
    Reading further I uncovered : ‘As a result, GE hopes to roll out four or five new engines over the next five years. An engine can take up to 20 years to develop. Nobody has ever flooded the market with so many engines in a span of just five years.’

    Isn’t that awesome!
