GE Aviation Passport to power Bombardier Global 7000 and Global 8000 Business Jets

GE Aviation’s integrated propulsion system, which includes the engine, nacelle and thrust reverser, for the new Bombardier Global 7000 and Global 8000 business jets has been named Passport. "Initially, we called GE’s development program of this new engine the"TechX," to highlight advanced technologies incorporated from commercial and military applications being uniquely adapted for business jets," said Brad Mottier, vice president and general manager of GE’s Business & General Aviation organization. "This new name, Passport, is a better representation of the product – the world’s first integrated propulsion system specifically designed for ultra long-range, large cabin business jets, giving customers the power to fly powerfully, more quietly and efficiently – anywhere they want to go."
