Electrical engineering student Aaron Plvan has spent his co-ops at GE Aviation living in his solar-powered van. From the high-tech experience at GE Aviation’s additive site in Auburn to the traditional manufacturing site in Rutland, Plvan is gaining deep experience across the spectrum at GE. And taking in the views as he goes.

Meet Charlie Barker, Facilities Engineer and leader of the GE Aviation Rutland Energy Efficiency Program. Charlie’s sustainability initiatives have resulted in 115 energy conservation projects saving 16,053,903 kilo-watt hours in electrical and over 12,541 tons of greenhouse gas emissions for the Rutland aircraft airfoil manufacturing operation.
Ashley Havera, global field services and product support team director for Military Systems Operation (MSO), recently got an up close and personal view of GE military engines in action aboard the U.S.Navy’s USS Abraham Lincoln.
In 2021, GE Aviation outlined one of the company’s most robust technology demonstration programs in company history.
The aviation industry’s first passenger flight using 100% Sustainable Aviation Fuel was powered by CFM LEAP-1B engines. The demonstration flight was also powered by GE Aviation employees striving to make a difference.
From America’s first jet engine to the world's most produced engine, GE’s legacy powering military aircraft is a strong one. There’s been no shortage of progress and innovation in 2021. A transformational fighter engine test campaign, major contracts for fighter...
The first GE90-94B engine serial numbers have surpassed 100,000 flight hours, a rare club for some of GE’s most reliable engine programs.
With 2022 on the horizon, here’s a look back at some of GE Aviation’s top Commercial and Business Aviation stories of 2021.
GE has concluded phase 1 testing on its second XA100 adaptive cycle engine as part of the U.S. Air Force’s Adaptive Engine Transition Program (AETP). Phase 1 testing took place at GE’s Evendale, Ohio, altitude test facility and enabled GE to continue gathering...
GE Aviation Czech and Czech Technical University’s Centre of Aviation and Space Research (CVUT) to cooperate on sustainable aviation fuel testing.
Boeing’s Deputy Chief Test Pilot Heather Ross talks about flying the GE9X powered 777X aircraft.
Making history. Today United will fly the first commercial flight full of passengers to use 100% drop-in sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) for one of the aircraft’s two LEAP-1B engines.
From a show-stopping GE9X-powered 777X flying display to headline grabbing sustainability news, see all the GE Aviation headlines from the 2021 Dubai Airshow.
Engineer and avid runner David Riddle powered himself to an impressive 2:28 finishing time at the Boston Marathon this year. But he couldn’t have done it without the support of his family and GE colleagues.
As a young girl, Roxana Leonte remembers feeling awestruck by the white lines of the contrails that airplanes left in the sky as they soared high above her home in Romania. She marveled at everything from the physics that allowed airplanes to take flight to what it would feel like to be a passenger or even the pilot on a jumbo jet.
At the Dubai Airshow this week, one of the most anticipated sights will be the Boeing 777X, Boeing’s new plane powered by the GE9X, the most powerful jet engine in the world. But thrust is just one of the engine’s many attributes. It’s also tough and the United Arab Emirates, a hot, desert country that also happens to be the base for two of the world’s largest airlines — Emirates and Etihad Airways — is an ideal place to talk about the engine’s brawn.
Data may not be what makes the world go round, but it can help airlines increase fuel efficiency and, by extension, help reduce carbon dioxide emissions when their passengers are on globe-trotting adventures.
We have reinvented how to clean a jet engine. Meet GE’s 360 Foam Wash, the powerful approach thoroughly cleans a commercial jet engine, helping to improve its performance and potentially eliminate tons of climate-damaging CO2.
The Boeing 777X aircraft made its public debut at the Dubai Airshow on Sunday. Propelled by a pair of GE9X engines from GE Aviation, the engine can supply 134,000 pounds of thrust, more than the rocket used in America’s first manned space flight.
As the GE Aviation rises to the aviation industry’s challenge to achieve net zero CO2 emissions by 2050, GE Aviation’s Chief Engineer Chris Lorence outlines why open fan engine architecture is the radical change aviation needs to achieve its goals.
As world leaders gather in Glasgow, Scotland, for the United Nation’s 26th conference on climate change — also known as COP26 — we outline five ways GE Aviation is rising to the challenge with technology innovation and collaboration.
