In 2006, GE Aerospace took a significant step forward with its first major project in Querétaro: adapting an aeroderivative engine for ferry propulsion. This marked the transition from a support team to a group of developers capable of leading and executing highly complex projects.

In the Defense & Systems and Avionics sectors, our team specializes in integrated modular avionics, flight management systems, and data recorders. In the Electrical Power domain, we focus on cutting-edge power distribution systems, controllers, and converters. Within AED, our team contributes across five key areas, including CF34 regional engines, business aviation, configurations, controls, performance, and providing support across the Latin American region.

Through collaborations with government entities, universities, and research institutions, we’ve established advanced lab capabilities in Querétaro, further enhancing our ability to drive innovation and develop next-generation aerospace solutions.

GE Aerospace’s Engineering Center in Querétaro is a leader in advancing regional aviation technology. At the core of its innovation is the CF34 engine, engineered to optimize efficiency for regional flights of up to 120 passengers on four-hour journeys. The center’s team also develops real-time control systems that monitor engine components, ensuring both performance and passenger safety.

Beyond the engine itself, the center designs essential external configurations, including cables, sensors, and harnesses, which seamlessly connect components to control systems for continuous monitoring. Engineers also focus on enhancing flight performance by analyzing factors like temperature, vibration, and fuel composition. Additionally, the center plays a vital role in regional support, creating maintenance and improvement processes that ensure top-tier service for Latin American customers.
