In the last installment, I discussed how to stagger your fleet by using minimum workscopes or quick turns. The use of these types of workscopes can expedite the return of engines to the operator.

Development of new repairs has the dual goal of increasing an engine’s time on wing while reducing an operator’s cost of ownership. Following is a recently released repair for CFM56* engines.

Gull wings, engines above the wing or embedded in the tail—all options gaining increased consideration for future fuel-efficient commercial aircraft.

Development of revolutionary engines at GE Aviation is setting the stage for the next 50 years in military aircraft propulsion, engineers there believe.

GE Aviation and Lufthansa Technik have laid the groundwork for a Europe-based GEnx-2B and GE9X full-service overhaul facility.

Lufthansa Technik AG and GE Aviation have announced they will build a new technology engine overhaul facility for GE engines that power Boeing’s two largest jetliners.

GE Aviation has built seven new factories in the last seven years, and is contemplating an eighth as it heads toward record production of the CFM56 next year.

Bigger is better when it comes to fuel burn in the GE9X engine.
