Yes and thats why the thing runs at 180C. mean and 196C max.
I wanted to send you a PM about this but this software has me marked as naughty poster....it won't let me. Anyway, I think all should know why this engine runs hot.
Anyway changes are a foot and propulsion units are set to change. This T900 will be the final example of this technologyin use now.
This is the future:
* Open Rotor: Last fall, GE announced a joint study with NASA related to an open rotor or unducted fan engine design. In the 1980s, GE successfully ground-tested and flew an open-rotor engine that demonstrated dramatic fuel savings. Since then, GE has advanced its data acquisition systems and computational tools to better understand open-rotor systems. GE also gained extensive experience with composite fan blades in its GE90 engine and GEnx engine"
