Back in the 80s, GE looked into a radical new kind of aircraft engine with now cover round the blades. The idea ended up being buried, but it never fully died. Now, it's been resurrected, modernised, improved, and it'll be starting tests on an Airbus A380 in as little as three years' time! This is the RISE, a commercial passenger aircraft engine that could potentially save 20% off airlines' fuel bills. Join me at the link in the bio and let's look into the origin story and what's different this time around!
