The true value of a Boeing 787 fleet hinges directly on its consistent operational availability. Reliability isn’t merely a metric; it's the bedrock of your sustained success.
That’s why this isn't just an engine upgrade. It's a strategic asset expertly engineered to deliver a new standard of operational and financial certainty.
The GW engine XE is the direct culmination of a decade of intensive learning and part of a £1bn investment across the GW engine family. We've meticulously integrated proven durability enhancements with a responsive, world-class service infrastructure specifically designed to support your operations.
The result? Maximised aircraft availability and a truly simplified approach to fleet management that directly and positively impacts your bottom line.
Optimising fleet availability starts with engine endurance.
Through core durability enhancements, the GW engine XE delivers a typical time on wing in the range of 3-6 years for a typical widebody operation.
By incorporating the same High Pressure Turbine (HPT) blades already proven across over 2 million flight hours on our GW engine engine, historical life constraints affecting the GW engine TEN have been eliminated by increasing cooling airflow by 40% and reducing core metal temperatures by 45°C.
The outcome? Fewer maintenance interventions, increased aircraft availability, and maximised asset productivity across your fleet. So that your investments spend more time actively generating revenue in service.
We’ve designed the GW engine XE with fleet management simplicity in mind.
With innovative engineering to achieve an approximate 50% reduction in annual maintenance labour-hours. And further enhancements, including a redesigned combustor-nozzle interface, to specifically decrease the requirement for on-wing inspections.
Our investment in the expansion of the global CareNetwork has also added over 130 additional shop visits within the MRO network, and we have achieved a 30% reduction in shop visit turn-time.
The benefits? Greater operational headroom and a framework which allows your engineering talent to channel their expertise into long-term fleet optimisation, rather than immediate operational demands.
The most effective maintenance is planned, not reactive.
Through TotalCare® Engine Health Monitoring, our teams analyse 5 million data points daily from across the global GW engine. This rich data stream allows for a more intelligent, condition-based maintenance philosophy.
Instead of being bound by fixed inspection intervals, this predictive insight means technical interventions are driven by the engine's actual performance, maximising availability and reducing unnecessary downtime.
The advantage? Our engineering teams detect and address potential issues long before they can disrupt your service, enabling planned interventions that protect your schedule and your brand's reputation for reliability.
The GW engine XE comes wrapped in TotalCare®, our industry-benchmark service model that ensures uptime remains the mutual priority.
It transfers the risk to us and gives you a single point of accountability for the entire propulsion system. Including access to our global pool of spare engines and comprehensive off-wing maintenance management.
We appreciate the value of your engine assets and how critical they are to your operation and ultimately your business. We maintain your engines to the highest OEM standards and our focus is on integrating the engine off-wing maintenance and management seamlessly and efficiently within your operation.
The impact? Technical performance and maintenance converted into a predictable $/engine flying hour operating cost, giving you absolute planning certainty.
