Renowned for their prowess in commercial engines, Ceramic Matrix Composites are accelerating the future of military propulsion as well.

It has been almost 10 years since the Air Force Research Lab selected GE to develop next-gen engine technology under a program called ADaptive Versatile Engine Technology (ADVENT). Follow our journey through the world of adaptive cycle engines!

GE Aviation once again will be hosting a TrueChoice™ Overhaul Time & Material (T&M) Engine Services Customer Symposium. This year’s event is on Thursday, March 16th, 2017 at the GE Africa Innovation Centre in Johannesburg, South Africa.

GE would not be the company it is today without its employees. From working mothers to U.S. military veterans, GE has a diverse team that should be recognized and celebrated. So, we created a series called the “Quick Six”—six questions we are asking employees to help us learn about their talents and backgrounds. Together, GE works.

In celebration of Thomas Edison’s birthday this month, The Bike Shop found GE Aviation’s Jeff Hauer, inventor and entrepreneur, to identify common characteristics for innovative success.

GE Aviation is on the final phase to create its most vertically integrated, new material system ever introduced in the United States. By 2020, GE Aviation is projected to have more than 750 U.S. employees dedicated to its CMC industry.

GE Aviation is known for its powerful jet engines. Now make way for the new Evendale North Utility Plant.

Aerodynamics. Fuel efficiency. Reliability. Extended time on wing. It all started with the development of GE Aviation’s CF6 engine more than 45 years ago.

The second phase of GE9X CMC (ceramic matrix composite) component testing in a GEnx demonstrator engine is complete, with the CMCs continuing to be the clear cool winner. The demonstrator engine accumulated 1,800 cycles in the latest round of tests, which included exposure to harsh environmental conditions of dust and debris. The level of debris exposure was equivalent to about 3,000 take-off and landing operation cycles. The GE9X engine will power Boeing's 777X aircraft.
