Making History: The People Who Brought GE’s Catalyst into the Sky
Europeans are familiar with the feeling of a penalty shootout on the football pitch, and this morning has a similar mix of tension, excitement, and anxiety. Inside the Beechcraft Berlin Aviation (BBA) hangar is an experimental Beechcraft King Air 350, and on its left wing was the new Catalyst engine, which was installed last December.

GranTorino: Avio Aero's 60-year-old test cell will serve the next generation of engines in the homeland of automotive
Avio Aero's engine test cells that once housed the likes of the GE J79 or LM2500, can now host a concentration of next generation aeronautical technology: the power transmissions of the TP400 engine for the Airbus A400M and the new GE Catalyst engine, destined for the Cessna Denali.
Catalyst for change: GE's advanced turboprop engine propels an industry forward
“Catalyst” is often referred to as a prime agent of change. In the world of turboprops, there has been very little “catalyst-worthy” change to the Business and General Aviation (BGA) segment. In fact, it’s a market that hasn’t seen much technological infusion in decades. That was at least until GE Aviation’s Advanced Turboprop entered the conversation.
GE’s Advanced Turboprop is about to make some noise
In two years, GE Aviation’s Advanced Turboprop has been designed, developed and is now closing in on its first engine run in record time. ATP will be the first clean-sheet turboprop engine to hit the Business and General Aviation (BGA) market in more than 30 years.
Subtracting with additive: A deep dive into the development of GE's next-gen turboprop
General Electric’s new 1,300 SHP-rated Advanced Turboprop (ATP) is the first entry in GE’s new family of turboprop engines aimed at Business and General Aviation aircraft in the 1,000-1,600 SHP range. The ATP engine will power the new Cessna Denali aircraft built by Textron Aviation.
