Abstract: Paper includes detailed study of the HF120 turbofan engine, which is the first product from GE Honda Aero Engines. This paper is to showcase state of art technology involved in gas turbine engines and to bring out various aspects and future trends in field of propulsion technology. Paper also includes development in gas turbine engine that have helped to achieve great fuel efficiency and less noise, increased power, thrust and also advancements made in the field of materials have contributed in a major way in gas turbine in accordance to the future trends that have come up in recent years. The paper reviews the evolutionary process that has taken place over the years with reference to the different design concepts used for aero engines. At General Electric, the official corporate slogan is “Imagination at work.” At Honda, it’s “The power of dreams.” Two of the world’s most respected names in propulsion have come together to design and manufacture engines for the next generation of very light jets. The joint venture, known as GE Honda Aero Engines, combines the strengths of two industry leaders recognized for delivering high performance and reliable engines. The HF120 is an advanced 2000lb thrust class turbofan propulsion system. It incorporates a development philosophy and operational features consistent with Honda’s tradition of Innovation and GE’s rigorous design and testing standards.
