The first General Electric GEnx-1B powered 787 – ZA005 (N787FT) – was moved from Building 40-24 to the flight line on the evening of Thursday, March 25. While it might not be evident from this angle, the GEnx-1B is about 8in longer than the Rolls-Royce Trent 1000 (cowling to cone) and sits about .8in lower.
