GE Aerospace (NYSE:GE) is the aerospace division of General Electric Company, specializing in the design, manufacture and service of jet engines, electric propulsion systems, avionics, and digital solutions for commercial, military, business and general aviation customers. The unit offers a broad portfolio of products ranging from high-bypass turbofan engines for narrow- and wide-body airliners to turboshaft engines for rotary-wing aircraft, as well as integrated avionics suites and predictive maintenance software under its digital offerings.
Established as GE Aviation in 1917, the business has grown into a global technology leader with facilities in North America, Europe, Asia, Latin America and the Middle East. In 2013, GE acquired Italy’s Avio Aero to expand its manufacturing and MRO capabilities, and in 2023 the unit was rebranded as GE Aerospace to reflect its broadened role in sustainable aviation and electric propulsion innovations. The company supports more than 80 airlines worldwide and maintains a network of overhaul, repair and spare-parts distribution centers to serve its diverse customer base.
GE Aerospace plays a key role in both civilian and defense markets. Its commercial engines power popular aircraft models from major airframers, while its military products include fighter-jet and trainer-aircraft engines used by armed forces around the globe. The company’s digital services leverage data analytics and artificial intelligence to improve engine health monitoring and optimize fleet performance, helping operators reduce fuel consumption and maintenance costs.
Under the leadership of CEO Russell Stokes, GE Aerospace continues to invest in next-generation propulsion systems, including hybrid-electric and hydrogen-compatible engines, as part of its commitment to sustainable aviation. Headquartered in Evendale, Ohio, the division benefits from General Electric’s deep engineering heritage, combining over a century of experience with a strategic focus on innovation and operational excellence.
