However, GE also needed to increase core power to improve net thrust at high flight speeds. Consequently, GE elected to increase core capacity, which they achieved by removing one stage from the rear of the HP compressor and adding an additional stage to the LP compressor, which more than compensated for the reduction in HP compressor pressure ratio, resulting in a net increase in core mass flow.<ref>{{cite news |url=https://blog.geaviation.com/people/the-ge90-ge-aviations-greatest-comeback-story |title=The GE90:ge aviations greatest comeback story |newspaper=The Ge Aviation Blog | Aerospace & Flight News |date=December 2, 2019 |publisher=GE Aviation |access-date=February 12, 2020 |archive-date=February 6, 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200206054407/https://blog.geaviation.com/people/the-ge90-ge-aviations-greatest-comeback-story/ |url-status=live}}</ref> The higher-thrust GE90 variants are the first production engines to feature swept rotor blades.
