The GE Aerospace and Avio Aero engineers return from One Young World Forum eager to share what they’ve learned during the massive event.

In the 1970s, GE Aerospace partnered with NASA to test the Quiet, Clean, Short-Haul Experimental Engine (QCSEE). This demonstrator engine helped launch technologies found in our engines today including composite materials, as well as other innovations being furthered developed with the current CFM RISE program.

In 1941, the United States government asked GE to develop the first American jet engine. Allied defense, industrial collaboration, technological advancement, and economic growth were at stake. GE delivered the very next year. Now, more than 80 years later, GE Aerospace finds itself at the cusp of another era-defining moment. With climate change impacting communities and economies around the world, the aerospace industry is in the midst of what feels to some like a seismic shift.

For GE Aviation’s 100th anniversary in 2019, employees visit Safran and learn more about what makes the companies “#ExtraordinaryTogether.”

CFM's LEAP engine celebrates the one-year anniversary of its entry into commercial service, with the fleet logging more than 200,000 flight hours.

Our growing presence in Europe will better position not only GE Aviation, but the continent of Europe, for the dynamic 21st century aerospace industry.

How long is 91,000 years? Go back that far in the history of the earth and the Sahara was a wet and fertile plateau. It’s also the cumulative amount of time that the world’s most hardest-working jet engine, the CFM56, has spent in the air since its first commercial flight on a DC-8 Super 70 passenger jet in 1981.

GE Aviation announces plans to create adjacent factories in Huntsville, Alabama, to mass-produce silicon carbide (SiC) materials used to manufacture ceramic matrix composite components (CMCs) for jet engines and land-based gas turbines.
