How GE’s On Wing Support Is Using Lean to Meet Airline Customer Needs

Jay Stowe
April 26, 2023

Inside a vast, 69,000-square-foot engine shop situated on the southern edge of the Cincinnati-Northern Kentucky International Airport (CVG), a small group of GE Aerospace mechanics and college co-op students huddle around a GEnx engine. An engineer is demonstrating how to use a prototype ultrasonic wrench. As the mechanics crane their necks to observe, the engineer deploys the vibrating wrench to loosen a specific type of bolt that can cause damage to a part in the engine’s combustion case if not handled properly.

GE Aerospace’s New Jet Engine Services Center Enables More Efficient Repairs and Supply Chain Solutions

Jay Stowe
December 08, 2022

Airlines are motivated to keep engines on wing for as long as possible. But inevitably there comes a time when a commercial jet engine must go in for a shop visit to be overhauled.

GE and its joint ventures’ combined installed base of 39,000 commercial engines keeps maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) shops around the globe quite busy. Which is why Nicole Tibbetts, the chief manufacturing engineer for MRO at GE Aerospace, calls the company’s MRO network “the greatest leading indicator program in the world” for gauging engine performance.

Blue Sky Thinking: This Team Gives Jet Engines A New Lease On Life

Tomas Kellner
May 10, 2022

Last October, GE Aviation closed the door on an era as employees sent the most powerful version of GE’s storied CF6 engine to China Airlines. The delivery was an emotional one, for good reason: It was the last CF6-80E1 engine the company produced.

The CF6 is no ordinary jet engine. GE produced more than 8,500 of them for 250 airlines in 87 countries, going back to its launch in 1971. Among the many passenger and cargo planes it powers is the U.S. president’s Air Force One Boeing 747.
