Adaptive Cycle Engines
[IMG: GE Aerospace]
Outperform. Outpace.Only Adaptive Cycle Engines.A new era of combat propulsion is here. The adaptive cycle engine — designed, built, and tested through the U.S. Air Force's Adaptive Engine Transition Program (AETP) — defines a revolutionary jump in propulsion capabilities that address the challenges faced from increasing geopolitical threats.
[IMG: GE Aerospace]
[H5] Revolutionary capabilities to deter geopolitical threats
The adaptive cycle engine is the only engine that allows U.S. warfighters to go further, go faster and fight harder against near-peer adversaries to satisfy the true needs of the U.S. and its Allies for strategic deterrence, today and tomorrow. The technologies developed for the adaptive cycle engines unlock opportunities for greater power projection, better warfighting posture, and superior operational effectiveness.

[H2] Zero to Mach 5+for hypersonic applications
GE Aerospace is working multiple development efforts on hypersonic propulsion that can enable travel much farther and much faster. From rotating detonation combustion to turbine based combined cycle engines, Edison Works engineers are moving at a rapid pace to develop and test hypersonic propulsion systems for use in various applications, such as test beds, targets, missiles and aircraft.
[IMG: GE Aerospace]
[H3] Combining best resources in GE Aerospace
GE Aerospace is uniquely qualified for hypersonics research thanks to the collaborations of our team of engineers in Edison Works, including Innoveering that was acquired by GE Aerospace in 2022, and GE Aerospace’s Research Center along with our long history of innovation:
High speed propulsion: Building on the foundation of past high Mach research and programs
High-temperature materials: Only aerospace company using ceramic matrix composites (CMCs) in our engines based on decades of materials innovation in superalloys.
Advanced technologies: Advanced combustion technologies, high temperature electronics, thermal management, and vehicle controls.

[H3] Flying Mach 5+ on the ground
GE Aerospace is applying a body of knowledge from more than 50 years of turbine engine development to hypersonic engine testing on the ground. Continuous heated air flow enables test engineers to perform system trade studies on many aspects of flight before taking to the skies. This reduces risk and improves reliability with advanced performance.

Small Engines
Advancing propulsion solutionsfor the Collaborative Combat Aircraft (CCA)GE Aerospace is advancing propulsion solutions for the Department of War’s Collaborative Combat Aircraft (CCA) mission through targeted investment in small, medium, and large engine technologies, strategic partnerships, and rapid development programs. Our focus is on delivering affordable, scalable, high-performance propulsion for uncrewed and autonomous Air Force and Navy systems.

[H2] GEK800
[H6] The GEK800 is a scaled architecture starting out at around 800 pounds of thrust and could scale up to about 3,000 pounds. The planned range is ideally suited for cruise missiles, drones and loitering munitions, with the design possible for CCA use.Its compact size and powerful thrust make the GEK800 an ideal propulsion solution for high-speed cruise missiles, enabling rapid strike capabilities.
[H2] GEK1500
[H6] In addition to the joint work on the GEK800, GE Aerospace and Kratos are working on a new engine, the GEK1500. The GEK1500 is a 1,500-pound-thrust engine intended to power reusable aircraft in uncrewed combat applications such as CCAs. The U.S. Air Force's Next-Generation Air Dominance initiative calls for CCAs—also known as “loyal wingman” vehicles—to operate alongside a future crewed fighter platform.
