These Two NEW MASSIVE Engines Will Change All Aviation Forever! Here's How
The aviation industry is undergoing a powerful transformation in engine technology. New standards for efficiency, fuel consumption, and environmental impact are setting mandatory requirements for engine manufacturers. In this high-stakes race, two major contenders have emerged: Rolls-Royce's Ultrafan, with its massive fan blade design, and CFM's Rise program, which brings groundbreaking innovations in engine technology.
Which engine will come out on top in redefining the industry's standards? And how are these advancements being applied to the next generation of aircraft? Let’s see!
These Two NEW MASSIVE Engines Will Change All Aviation Forever! Here's How
Leading the charge in next-generation aircraft engine technology is none other than Rolls-Royce’s ambitious UltraFan program. First unveiled in 20 14, UltraFan started out as a concept and tech demonstrator rather than a commercial product, at a time when aircraft manufacturers weren’t particularly interested in large gas turbines. But everything changed in early 20 23. This program officially entered its testing phase at Testbed 80, the world’s largest aero engine testing facility, running entirely on sustainable aviation fuel (SAF). Rolls-Royce CEO Tufan Erginbilgic didn’t hold back, calling it a “transformational technology” that could redefine both current and future engines.

One of the most jaw-dropping highlights: UltraFan features a massive 140-inch fan diameter, making it the largest jet engine ever built, surpassing even GE’s 135 inch GE9X. But it’s not just big—it’s brilliantly engineered. With an ultra-high bypass ratio of 15 1, the engine delivers exceptional fuel efficiency and quiet operation, thanks to its large fan paired with a relatively compact core. Another game-changer is its power gearbox, which lets the fan and core spin at their own optimal speeds, setting an aerospace power record of 64 megawatts during testing.
