Builds jet engines for airlines and armed forces
GE Aerospace designs, builds and services jet engines and aircraft systems for airlines, plane makers and armed forces around the world. Through CFM International, a 50-50 venture with France's Safran, it makes the LEAP engine, the only engine on Boeing's 737 MAX and one of two offered on Airbus's A320neo family. Its other units make avionics and electrical power systems for civil and military aircraft. Most of its revenue comes from repairs, spare parts and long-term service deals that airlines buy over the decades each engine stays in use, with the work done in its own and partner shops. GE Aerospace traces to General Electric, founded in 1892, and is based in Evendale, Ohio.
