GE Aerospace and its CFM International joint venture partner Safran use a former Japan Airlines Boeing 747 widebody to evaluate new engines such as the Leap 1B, the GE9X, and the forthcoming RISE Open Fan technology. Test pilots can replicate real-world operations at altitude while teams of engineers log and process multiple data points in what acts as a flying laboratory.
