This is from the Daily Mail online....

A Boeing 747 test aircraft flew from Victorville, California, with the GE9X engine mounted under its left wing
The 100,000 pound thrust engine has the largest front fan in the world at 134 inches in diameter, GE says
Boeing asked General Electric to develop an engine strong enough to power its 777X aircraft family
GE9X is expected to fly under its own power next year ahead of a planned maiden commercial flight in 2020
