About
We are GE Aerospace, a world-leading provider of jet and turboprop engines, as well as integrated systems for commercial, military, business, and general aviation aircraft. Our history of powering the world's aircraft features more than 100 years of innovation, from the development of the first airplane engine 'booster,' the turbosupercharger, during World War I to engineering the world's most powerful commercial jet engine. This legacy drives our commitment to invent the future of flight, lift people up, and bring them home safely. Every day, approximately 950,000 people are in the sky with technology made by us and our joint venture partners under wing. Our operations span across approximately 120 countries, with a dedicated team of around 53,000 employees. We pride ourselves on our extensive installed base of nearly 70,000 commercial and military engines, which forms the backbone of our services business, accounting for about 70% of our revenue. We are continuously investing in research and development, with approximately $2.7 billion spent this year, including customer and partner funding, to drive breakthroughs in areas like Open Fan engine architecture, hybrid electric propulsion, and sustainable aviation fuels. We are also committed to optimizing our own operations through FLIGHT DECK, our proprietary lean operating model, to deliver greater value to our customers and shareholders. Our commitment extends to our communities as well, with over $21.5 million in contributions made by our company, employees, and the GE Aerospace Foundation in the past year. We are focused on building a world that works, by advancing flight for future generations and striving for a safer, more sustainable aviation industry.
