The LEAP engine, the high-bypass turbofan produced by CFM International, the 50-50 joint company between GE Aerospace and Safran Aircraft Engines, has built a reputation as a leader in efficiency and asset utilization. In airline service, it is demonstrating better durability in neutral environments than the previous-generation CFM56 product line at the same point in that engine’s life.
The scene about 36,000 feet in the air somewhere north of Seattle has shades of a techno-thriller: Two jets are loaded with an international team of experts from GE Aerospace, NASA, Boeing, German Aerospace Center (DLR), and elsewhere. A NASA DC-8, bristling with probes and sensors, pursues Boeing’s ecoDemonstrator Explorer, a 737-10 destined for United Airlines whose CFM LEAP-1B engines are operating with HEFA sustainable aviation fuel (SAF).

Moving deep inside the bowels of a jet engine — negotiating baroque curves and tricky surfaces — GE Aerospace Research’s new Sensiworm looks less like a complex triumph of engineering than something eerily close to a living organism. This is not a coincidence.
By mid-2020, normal routines around the world had ground to a halt. Early-stage quarantine plans to make the best of the spare time — to get in shape or learn a new skill — were giving way to languor and endless doomscrolling.

With the worst of the COVID-19 pandemic behind us, travelers are flocking to airports again, leading to surging demand for jet engines, but supply chain issues are hindering the aerospace industry’s ability to deliver for customers. GE Aerospace’s Greg Pothoff is on a mission to make sure the company can deliver to its customers.
It’s been an exciting few weeks for the GE team, with GE’s Lean Mindset event, multiple investor conferences, including an appearance by GE and GE Aerospace CFO Rahul Ghai at Morgan Stanley’s Laguna Conference, followed by on-the-ground investor relations meetings across the Asia-Pacific region.
The dawn of the jet age gave birth to the concept of the global village. Once jet engines made the jump from military fighters to civilian planes in the 1950s, commercial passenger service could carry people farther and faster than ever before. Fares dropped, ticket sales quadrupled, and by 1972 almost half of all Americans had traveled by air.
