Any questions?

The 777X nozzles are lighter than a standard exhaust system (-20%).

The exhaust system has superior resistance to high temperatures (more than 600°C).

The nozzles integrate acoustic treatments that reduce the engine footprint noise.

Mostly manufactured from titanium, this system integrates a nozzle that optimizes the turbojet’s engine aerodynamic exhaust flow. Part of its surface is acoustically treated which contributes to reducing the engine footprint noise.

Lighter metallic alloys

Safran Nacelles is an expert in exhaust systems, from design to manufacturing. They contribute to the thrust of the aircraft by channeling the engine-generated hot airflow and by ensuring the continuity of cold air exiting the nacelle. They are designed in very fine metallic alloys -0.016 to 0.0.6 inch thick (0.4 to 1.5mm thick)- that lightens the mass, are corrosion-resistant and support extreme temperatures in excess of 600°C/1,112°F

Acoustic treatments to reduce engine noise

Honeycomb acoustic treatment is applied in strategic areas of the GE9X exhaust system on the Boeing 777X. Many thousands of holes are drilled in the composite skin so that the noise can disperse and be captured in the honeycomb core. This process significantly reduces the engine noise. Safran Nacelles holds a unique expertise in engine environment acoustic technology.
