[edit] GE Transportation

For about 10 months, this article claimed that GE Aircraft Engines is part of GE Transportation Systems. This is incorrect. GEAE and GETS are both part of GE Transportation (which apparently is not supposed to be abbreviated to "GET"). GE Aircraft Engines has never been a subsidiary of GE Transportation Systems - in fact, GEAE is several times larger! Aerion//talk 04:03, 16 Apr 2005 (UTC)

[edit] New format

I like the new format, but I have one question on the new headings: Can engines such as the F101, F110, F120, and F135 really be considered "light turbofans"? Perhaps it should be changed to "Low-bypass turbofans", which is what most of them are. THe TF/CF34 family is usually considered a high-bypass engine, even though it has lower thrust that the larger high-bypass units such as the CF6. - BillCJ 03:37, 17 January 2007 (UTC)

I am open to other category suggestions regarding grouping. The TF39 was the first high-bypass turbofan, and the TF34 predates it. —Joseph/N328KF (Talk) 03:39, 17 January 2007 (UTC)

I think Low- and High-baypass would be good.

The TF39 was the first "large" high-bypass engine, but both engines were developed around the same time. the TF39 has a bypass ratio of 8:1, while the TF34 has a ratio of 6:1 (for the origianl models). THe F101, F110, and F404 have much lower ratios, well under 2:1, if not under 1:1. So even thought the TF34 is a small engine, it's still considered high-bypass. See GEA page on TF34- BillCJ 03:57, 17 January 2007 (UTC)

Fine by me. With a couple of exceptions (like this one), it is a way to group the small and large turbofans based upon technical criteria. —Joseph/N328KF (Talk) 03:58, 17 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] LM2500+

Hi, can anyone provide more info on LM2500+ which is different from LM2500 enough to be considered a separate engine line by GE? --TRakowski 11:28, 17 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:GE Aviation logo.png

Image:GE Aviation logo.png is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 10:59, 4 June 2007 (UTC)
