This custom award project involved the
reproduction of a portion of a GE jet engine blade whose unique and
innovative design is displayed at the Smithsonian in Washington D.C.
There is only one word to describe the elegance of this “blade”--
gorgeous! It was a joy for MK Shannon to recreate and experience this
exquisite piece of work. The pewter blade is about a foot tall and
very dynamic. A black patina was used to create a contrast that
allows the beauty of the blade to exhibit itself sharply.
It took several weeks to complete the
model. The base of the award was also designed by GE Aviation and
then executed by MK Shannon Awards following specific directions
provided by GE. The name plate is imprinted on clear Lucite and
raised off the marble base with small aluminum standoffs to make it
stand out.

As an award for engineers it is pretty
extraordinary. The GE Blade is presented at GE's Annual Leadership
Meeting.
