GE Aerospace is overcoming supply chain bottlenecks and introducing wholesale production system improvements to accelerate fighter, trainer and helicopter engine assembly.

Production-standard Hurjet completes maiden flight

The quiet Dec. 23 announcement that the Kaveri jet engine is now cleared to reenter flight test after a 15-year-long hiatus could be easily missed.

GE Aerospace’s F404 engine could be produced in Turkey to meet the needs of Turkish Aerospace’s Hurjet advanced jet trainer program.

Video shows a rollout and spooling up of the Hurjet advanced jet trainer's General Electric F404 engine at Turkish Aerospace's facility in Ankara.

The investment will support maintenance of the General Electric F414 engines that equip Sweden’s new Gripen E fighters and older F404 engines on its Gripen C/D.
