The engine manufacturer flew a Boeing 747 jet equipped with the GEnx engine into Everett’s Paine Field around 10 a.m. The plane and 787 engine are on display until 2 p.m. today at the Future of Flight Aviation Center and Boeing Tour across the field in Mukilteo. GE flew the 747 jet into Seattle to conduct tests on the GEnx engine, said a spokesman for the company. The aircraft will head back to its base in California this afternoon. The stop in Everett mainly was to let Boeing officials get a look at the Dreamliner engine, the spokesman said. GE plans to gain Federal Aviation Administration certification on the engine mid-March. Boeing also offers a Rolls-Royce Trent 1000 engine on its 787 Dreamliner. The Dreamliner, which has won more than 800 orders, has suffered three major production delays. Originally, the first 787 was supposed to be delivered to All Nippon Airways of Japan in May. In its latest delay announcement in January, Boeing said the company will not deliver a Dreamliner this year but plans to hand over one in 2009. The first flight of the 787 is expected before the end of June.
