Herkes hayatta gurur duyabileceği izler bırakmak ister. GE Aerospace Bölge Satış Direktörü Burak Orkun Tuncer, GE kariyerindeki başarılarıyla daima gurur hatırlayacağı işlere imza attı ve atmaya da devam ediyor. Tuncer bu duygusunu, “Türkiye’deki ticari uçakların yaklaşık %60’ı bir GE ya da CFM motoru kullanıyor. Neredeyse her uçağa binişinizde bir GE motoru görmektesiniz. Bu gerçekten çok gurur verici bir şey.” diyerek aktarıyor.
A year and a half after the Russian invasion in February 2022, some 17 million people in Ukraine are still in need of assistance and nearly 8 million refugees, mostly women and children, have been driven to neighboring countries.

This week at the Oshkosh air show in Wisconsin, the world’s largest air show, GE Aerospace debuted its new livery design for the aircraft test bed for NASA’s Electrified Powertrain Flight Demonstration (EPFD) project, a landmark effort to help prove the feasibility of hybrid electric flight for commercial aviation.
For the hybrid electric test flights, GE Aerospace is partnering with Boeing and its subsidiary Aurora Flight Sciences using a modified Saab 340B aircraft powered by GE’s CT7 engines.
This past May, 20 undergraduates from top American universities, half selected by GE Aerospace, headed off to visit Poland to get more familiar with the country’s huge economic potential, its culture, and its role in the region. GE Aerospace and the Polish & Slavic Federal Credit Union, in cooperation with the Polish Presidential Palace, sponsored the 10-day Poland Immersion Trip. The trips began in 2017 and restarted again this year, the fourth excursion after a three-year break because of the COVID pandemic.
Andrew Dubrule began his career as a chef. Armed with a culinary arts degree from the State University of New York at Cobleskill, he interned at the University of the Arts in Florence, Italy, and worked for years at restaurants in New York City. But when he and his wife decided to start a family, he had a change of heart. In 2019, Dubrule traded in the grueling hours and uncertain future of restaurant life for a job as a machine operator at GE Aerospace’s Rutland, Vermont, plant.
They help build helicopter engines for a living, but on this warm June day Madeline Stanton and Grace Hamel were being asked to tackle one of the modern world’s trickiest tasks: assembling furniture from a flat-pack kit. Sitting on the floor of a young boy’s bedroom while sorting through Allen wrenches and bolts of varying tininess, the engineers drew on their mechanical skills to put together a brand-new bed. Downstairs, one of their colleagues rolled white paint onto kitchen walls while others sanded the deck out back.
