The Boeing Dreamliner 787-9 and Airbus A350 XWB are currently perhaps the two most advanced passenger planes in the world.

They are both at the Paris Air Show, and they both carry GE technologies and advanced materials. The two GEnx engines that power the Dreamliner, for example, have fan blades and cases made from carbon fiber composites developed by GE engineers. The Airbus A350 has the trailing edges of its wings made from a similar advanced material made in a GE plant in the UK. In fact, more than a half that plane’s body is made from composites.

Both planes have been making afternoon flyovers this week at Paris Air Show. Photographer Adam Senatori captured some of the best moments.
