GE Centennial:

WHAT:      To kick off a three-week long Centennial of Flight
           Celebration at Rockefeller Center, GE, the world's leading
           maker of jet engines, is unveiling its "Imagine the Power"
           exhibit, which demonstrates how wind force shot through fan
           blades can lift 700,000 pounds into the air.

           GE's exhibit will showcase the GE90-115B, the most powerful
           commercial jet engine ever built. Certified at an
           unprecedented 115,000 pounds of thrust, the GE90-115B is
           recognized by the Guinness Book of World Records as the
           "World's Most Powerful Commercial Jet Engine."  It stands
           13 feet high by 25 feet long and weighs 20,000 pounds. Its
           thrust has the power to blow two-ton boulders about as if
           they were pebbles.

           In addition, visitors have the opportunity to experience an
           interactive tunnel that encourages exploration and
           highlights the technologies that power airplanes to take
           off, cruise and land. Ideal for all ages, the exhibit
           offers a stunning combination of video, computer
           simulation, and 3D images.

           And, there's a twist at the end.

WHY:       From producing the turbosuperchargers that powered aircraft
           in World Wars I and II, to introducing America's first jet
           engine, to becoming the world's leading maker of aircraft
           engines, GE has played a major role in the innovation of
           flight.

           To celebrate, GE has joined the U.S. Centennial Commission
           and other sponsors to present The Centennial of Flight
           exhibit at Rockefeller Center. The three-week exhibit at
           Rockefeller Center will include full-scale replicas of
           historic aircraft from the Wright Flyer to the 75-foot
           Mercury Redstone Rocket, as well as GE's own exhibit on
           powering flight.
