GE AerospaceTechnology Innovation
Moving innovation forward
For a safer, more sustainable aviation industry
We are taking an across-the-board approach to a more sustainable future of flight, advancing the development of more efficient aircraft engines compatible with alternative fuels and collaborating across the industry.
Landmark technologies
GE Aerospace’s track record of technology and innovation means that we have products and services to help customers reduce emissions today. We also support efforts to accelerate the uptake of alternative fuels and collaborate across the industry with the goal of making the future of flight smarter and more efficient. We are building on the spirit of invention that has fueled us for over a century to help propel the industry’s goal of achieving net zero carbon emissions by 2050.
Alternative
fuels
GE Aerospace is actively involved in assessing and qualifying Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF). All GE Aerospace engines can operate on approved SAF blends today. We also support industry initiatives for the approval and adoption of 100% SAF.
CFM's RISE program
Together, GE Aerospace and Safran unveiled in 2021 the CFM Revolutionary Innovation for Sustainable Engines (RISE) program targeting more than 20% lower fuel consumption and CO2 emissions compared to today’s engines. Plans are to demonstrate and mature a range of new, disruptive technologies for future engines including Open Fan engine architecture.
Industry collaboration
GE Aerospace supports aviation industry efforts to reduce emissions, which requires a holistic, global approach. Meeting the industry’s goal of net zero CO2 emissions from flight by 2050 requires deploying revolutionary technologies to reduce emissions and to advocate for increased use and availability of alternative fuels.
