The General Electric Passport is a turbofan developed by GE Aerospace for large business jets. It was selected in 2010 to power the Bombardier Global 7500 and 8000, first run on June 24, 2013, and first flown in 2015. It was certified in April 2016 and powered the Global 7500 first flight on November 4, 2016, before its 2018 introduction. It produces 14,000 to 20,000 lbf (60 to 90 kN) of thrust, a range previously covered by the General Electric CF34-10. A smaller scaled CFM LEAP, it is a twin-spool axial engine with a 5.6:1 bypass ratio, a 45:1 overall pressure ratio and one-piece 52 in (130 cm) titanium fan blisk with 18 blades.
