GE bags $325m deal for engine project extension

摘要

The US Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) has awarded GE Aviation up to $325 million to continue working on adaptive cycle engine technology, with the award falling under phase three of the nearly decade-old versatile affordable advanced turbine engines programme. GE collected more than 100h of combined test data from a core rig two years ago and a full adaptive versatile engine technology (ADVENT) engine last year, and the AFRL will complete an assessment of its accumulated data in February.
