At the start of December, a video surfaced on Twitter showing the testing of a pair of GE90 engines on a SWISS Boeing 777 in Zurich. This test took a dramatic turn when the thrust of the powerplants caused damage to parts of a noise protection hangar. The visually spectacular incident left acoustic protection material strewn all over the surrounding area, giving the impression that a tornado had touched down in the middle of the hangar. Using this example, let’s look at just how powerful the Boeing 777’s GE90 engines are.
