Aviation documentary video by AeroSpaceNews.com Back in 1989 when this award winning story was produced, everyone was talking about Ultra High Bypass (UHB) jet engines. The topic of airline CO2 emissions and those greenhouse gases associated with air travel were subject of an ICAO deal on 6 October 2016.

FYI: This video was uploaded in 2009 – WE KNOW the opening/ending are too long. Check out our more recent videos – we got the memo!

General Electric (GE) was testing the Unducted Fan (UDF) and a team of Pratt & Whitney and Allison were experimenting with a geared PropFan design. Test platforms consisted of a Boeing B-727 and a then Douglas MD-80 with most flights taking place at California’s Mojave Airport. This video also includes an appearance by the late brilliant Aviation Week Editor Michael Dornheim. He will be missed. Clearly, this video is from our archive, not a recent production.

Would you fly on a plane with one of these ultra high bypass gas turbine powerplants? This subject, green jet engine technology in some form of ultra high bypass turbine engine, is becoming more relevant and popular every day. While this video was produced in – 1989 – (so be nice please), work on related aviation technologies continue by GE, Pratt & Whitney & others. The video features our editor on-camera and the late but wonderfully talented Michael Dornheim of Aviation Week & Space Technology. Be sure to subscribe and watch our other videos!

tryin to b cheap will cost lives.could u imagein the Concord wit props?
50c a gallon! The new GE engine has a gearbox and the blades have been incorporated with the front blades making them bigger and this achieves the bypass effect.
A dollar a gallon??? wtf we’re paying around $1.50 a litre NOW !!! that’s $6 a gallon!
So, it’s been 28 years and this hasn’t become a reality?
The price of jet fuel can’t melt steel wallets.
2017 OOPS!! No sight of it yet…
The ignored Russians technologies,
A Dollar a gallon…. I wish
All these years and NOBODY uses it.
Can somebody tell me the name of the song at the beginning of this video? I have heard it numerous places, but I don’t know what the name of it is. Thanks!
What happened to the GE unducted fan engine???
