Along with 24/7 customer support, GE Aviation teams in Cincinnati and Shanghai monitor engine data to help predict and avoid issues.

Some of the fascinating, technical challenges presented to engineers in the GE9X program over the last few years.

To celebrate the GE9X engine certification, Steve Ross can add another accomplishment to his unique 37-year GE Aviation career—working back-to-back from start to finish on the two newest widebody engine development programs.

The GE90 engine has surpassed 100 million flight hours. In November, the aircraft engine will mark 25 years in service. Under the wings of the Boeing 777 family, the GE90 engine reached the 100-million-hour mark averaging more than 4 million hours a year.

No engine in jet propulsion is quite like GE’s tiny J85 turbojet. Originally designed in 1954, the J85 is expected to power U.S. military aircraft until at least 2040.

GE Aviation has successfully completed more aircraft re-engining programs for the U.S. Air Force than any other company. That experience makes GE the top choice to re-engine the B-52 Stratofortress.

An Air Tahiti Nui Boeing 787 Dreamliner powered by GEnx engines set a new commercial airline record in March when it flew 9,765 air miles in 15 hours and 45 minutes nonstop from Tahiti to Paris.

Gianluca De Donno has worked as an Avio Aero field service representative at the Italian Air Force base in Pisa for 10 years. "By now, I know, and am known by, almost everyone at the air base. I feel like one of them because they make me feel like that. It is really like one big family."

GE Aviation has been awarded $707 million for F110 engine production but the U.S. Air Force. Over the last two months, GE Aviation has inked more than $1.2 billion in contracts to produce engines and hardware to support the U.S. military and international customers.

In the last month alone, GE Aviation has been awarded more than $476 million in contracts to produce military engines and hardware to support the U.S. military and international customers.
