GEnx first test
Looks like the FETT went smoothly, up to near max thrust as well.

Composite fan case looks pretty sexy as well. Gonna be interesting with this and the T1000!

All I get cobble together is that you can run the HP system faster with a greater fuel flow, as T4 is effectively cooler. Hp runs quicker, LP runs quicker, more air chucked out of the fan at a quicker speed. More thrust???
Or is that all boll*ocks?
Anyone care to shed a bit of light on it for me??
