Innovation : GE
From the ground up, we work from a strong heritage of ingenuity, commitment and dedication to advance the art of flight. Look to the pioneers and visionaries behind the progress and promise of GE Aviation. They are the true force of today’s most powerful jet engines.
Big ideas don’t just show up. Big ideas grow. They evolve. They adapt. It takes both an eye on the past and a focus on the future to put a big idea into good practice. Each new generation of the GE Aviation team carries on the work of the last—from Dr. Sanford Moss’s early visions for the turbosupercharger to the technological innovations of the legendary Brian Rowe.
David Joyce, vice president and general manager of Commercial Engines, talks about the late Brian Rowe and his legacy as an aviation innovator.

The world moves fast, but the best innovators move faster. It takes courage and determination to anticipate future demands and invest in technologies that can fulfill them. Around here, the only thing more powerful than our jet engines is our imagination. We take inspiration from what’s around us to explore breakthrough technologies that strengthen our materials and our machines.
Melvyn Heard, general manager of GEnx Marketing, discusses how GE engines reduce noise and emissions.
Passion talks. It asks big questions, brainstorms the possibilities and brings us together to achieve the extraordinary. From the sky-high offices of GE’s flight teams to the world’s greatest aviation celebration, we pay tribute to the energy and ingenuity that the love of flight inspires.
Demonstrating passion and dedication was hardly an act for the men and women behind the scenes of the GE “Duets” commercial. Attention to detail and a culture of collaboration make for a spirited—and enjoyable—work environment.
