General Electric is launching a family of advanced turboprop (ATP) engines following its selection by Textron to power the company’s newly disclosed next-generation single-engine turboprop aircraft.

Engine makers are tackling the challenge of seemingly mutually exclusive goals: How to operate at pressure/temperature levels not seen before in commercial service, while offering reliability and better time-on-wing than today’s engines.

General Electric will develop Huntsville, Alabama-based production facilities dedicated to making materials for the ceramic matrix composites (CMC) that will feature in the new generation of CFM Leap and GE9X engines.

GE Aviation assembled the 1,000th GEnx™ engine, just a mere five years after the first production engine was built at GE’s Durham, North Carolina, facility.

GE Aviation creates digital twins—data models that track specific parts by engine serial number—to enable predictive engine maintenance that eliminates unplanned aircraft down-time.

A recently developed data analytic, examining fan vibration, is enabling GE Aviation to predict CF34-8 engine fan vibration exceedances up to 10 days

Global Jet Capital, a less than year-old finance provider, is buying GE’s business aircraft finance organization in a deal valued at $2.5 billion.

On September 24, 2015, GE formally opened its newly expanded Aviation facility in Veresegyház, Hungary.
