Last weekend, KLM Royal Dutch Airlines passengers took special flights to Edmonton and Porto, even if they didn’t know it was part of The Sustainable Flight Challenge. The flights were powered by GEnx and CF34 engines using a mix of approved Sustainable Aviation Fuel.
MRO Americas is a great chance to highlight how far GE Aviation has come, what we’re doing to continuously improve our services business and help grow the MRO industry.

Demonstrated commercial success has engineers and program leaders bullish about CMCs and their impact on a new engine in GE’s military business: the XA100 Adaptive Cycle Engine.
The race to decarbonize flight just picked up speed. Airbus and CFM International will collaborate on tests of an aircraft engine fueled by hydrogen that, if all goes according to plan, would carry passengers in the mid-2030s while producing no carbon emissions during flight.
Last October, NASA and GE Aviation announced a new partnership to mature a megawatt-class hybrid electric engine that could...

From America’s first jet engine to the world’s most produced engine, GE’s legacy powering military aircraft is a strong...
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.
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.
A routine commercial long-haul flight scored an important aviation industry milestone last week when a Boeing 787 operated by Etihad Airways flew from London to Abu Dhabi on a fuel blend containing sustainable jet fuel. The plane’s carbon emissions were 72% below those of an equivalent flight in 2019.
The comforts of home at 41,000 feet is closer than ever, thanks to Dassault’s new Falcon 10X business jet and GE Aviation’s next-generation primary and solid state secondary electrical power distribution and control system.
GE’s XA100 adaptive cycle engine is ushering in a new era of combat propulsion. Backed by more than a decade of development with the U.S. Air Force, this engine could open up the world of “and” for fighter jets like the F-35.
Meet Gurhan Andac, GE Aviation’s engineering leader for aviation fuels and additives. Andac researches biofuels and synthetic fuels for engines, or sustainable aviation fuel (SAF). His team studies how well the fuels perform in engines, quantifies their benefits and promotes SAF use with the airlines.
