Creating energy the way the sun and stars do — through nuclear fusion — is one of the grand challenges facing science and technology. What’s easy for the sun and its billions of relatives turns out to be particularly difficult on Earth.
![CFM’s RISE open fan engine architecture. Image: GE Aerospace](/sites/default/files/styles/list_page_thumbnail/public/2023-06/02-CFM_RISE_Program_Open_Fan%5B1%5D_0.jpg?h=790be497&itok=Ulzp5W_p)
To support the development of a revolutionary new open fan engine architecture for the future of flight, GE Aerospace has run simulations using the world’s fastest supercomputer capable of crunching data in excess of exascale speed, or more than a quintillion calculations per second.
