The transition to cleaner sources of energy is one place where GE is helping decarbonize the world and address climate change. Another area involves aviation.
Aviation watchers are likely seeing more and more discussion about Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF), as increased supply and use of alternative fuels is critical to helping the aviation industry reach its goals to reduce, and even eliminate, net carbon emissions from commercial flights around the world. But is SAF and why is it so important.
GE Aviation’s engineering leader for aviation fuels and additives, Gurhan Andac, answers the top questions about SAF.
GE Aviation received nearly $55 million from U.S. FAA CLEEN III funding to accelerate development of a series of technologies for more sustainable aviation, including open fan engine architecture, electrification, noise-lowering technologies, and more.
After nearly seven years in the U.S. Army, Brennen McGuire wondered, what’s next? Then he learned about GE Aviation’s Junior Officer Leadership Program.
Full-scale prototype engine testing in the AETP program is the capstone of a multi-year technology maturation and risk reduction effort to bring an adaptive cycle engine to full maturity in close partnership with the U.S. Air Force. GE’s first XA100 engine tests began in December 2020, marking the world’s first ever run of a flight-weight three-stream adaptive cycle engine. Tests successfully validated the engine’s ability to deliver transformational propulsion capability to current and future fighter aircraft. Engine prototypes assembled as part of AETP are designed to fit and integrate directly into the F-35.

GE Aviation’s CF6 engine family reaches 50 years of revenue service.
In some ways, Corkery is now walking down the path Moss blazed. Corkery spent the first half of his three decades at GE refining gas turbines. Today he’s leading a team of 400 aviation engineers who have developed a new turboprop engine. They believe the engine — the first such new engine design for the general aviation turboprop market in 50 years — will elevate the aviation market to new heights.
“Is this heaven?” “No… It’s Oshkosh.” That nod to the 1989 film Field of Dreams was uttered more than once at this year’s EAA AirVenture Oshkosh. And for good reason.
