A GE90 fan blade is in the Smithsonian in Washington, DC I think as an example of both art form and technology.



The technology has expanded beyond fan blades, the GEnex and new LEAP engines have composite outer fan casings that eliminate the need for the Kevlar wrap to prevent uncontained failures.
