The U.S. Air Force has announced an agreement with Boeing to purchase more than 350 T-X trainer jets, all of them powered by the F404 engine.

GE and CFM power almost 5,000 engines in the U.S. Air Force. GE continues to work with the U.S. Air Force to improve aircraft performance and reduce life cycle costs.

Last week, almost exactly 50 years after the C-5 Galaxy made its maiden voyage, Lockheed delivered the latest upgraded version, called the C-5M Super Galaxy, to the U.S. Air Force.

GE's F404 engine has been selected by Lockheed Martin to power their bid for the MQ-25A Stingray contract, a competition to create an unmanned tanker designed to deliver robust refueling capability to support combat strike fighters and extend the range of US Navy aircraft carriers.

GE Aviation hosted the U.S. Amy for the successful Preliminary Design Review (PDR) of the T901-GE-900 engine. The T901 is GE Aviation’s engine for the Improved Turbine Engine Program (ITEP), an undertaking to re-engine the U.S. Army’s Boeing AH-64 Apaches and Sikorsky UH-60 Black Hawks.

While sometimes you must wait your turn, the T700 is boldly taking its “tern” now. In January, a T700-powered Tern Integrated Propulsion System Test (IPST) completed sustained vertical operations for the first time during testing in the California desert.
