The initial jet engine exhaust system component for Boeing’s new 777X airplane has been delivered by Safran Nacelles, achieving another on-time milestone in this Safran group company’s first major role as a supplier to the U.S. aircraft manufacturer. Provided to Boeing was the exhaust system’s center body – a complex-shaped unit that contributes to the proper aerodynamic flow of exhaust from the 777X’s General Electric GE9X turbofan engines. The two-piece exhaust system center body was delivered from Safran Nacelles’ Le Havre, France, production facility. It is composed primarily of titanium and incorporates an acoustically treated area for reduced engine noise levels. A second development unit is in production at Safran Nacelles for delivery to Boeing before year-end, involving the center body, the nozzle and the center vent tube – representing a complete exhaust system.
