Built on insights from four decades of proven performance on the T700 engine, the newly designed T901 (formerly GE3000) will deliver more power, fuel efficiency, and durability for the Army's Improved Turbine Engine Program (ITEP). Follow our journey through the world of T901 engines, below!

GE Aviation successfully began testing the first full engine in the Future Affordable Turbine Engine (FATE) program under a cooperative agreement between GE and the US Army. The engine is designed to meet a series of aggressive goals including a 35% reduction in specific fuel consumption, 80% improvement in power-to-weight, 20% improvement in design life and 45% reduction in production and maintenance costs relative to currently fielded engines.

The United States Army has awarded GE Aviation a $100-million, 24-month contract leading to a Preliminary Design Review of the GE3000 engine for the Improved Turbine Engine Program (ITEP).

Today, dozens of operators, airframers and members of the U.S. military will join GE employees and retirees at Aviation’s Lynn, Mass., facility for a ceremony to commemorate the delivery of its 20,000th T700/CT7 engine.
