GE Aerospace secures Air Force engine contract

GE Aerospace received an indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity (IDIQ) contract from the U.S. Air Force valued up to $5 billion. This contract supports Foreign Military Sales (FMS) for F110-GE-129 engines, which power F-15 and F-16 aircraft operated by allied nations worldwide.

The GE Aerospace F110 engine has clocked more than 11 million flight hours, the most thrust in its class, and recently celebrated a milestone of 40 years of continuous production and improvement. Through this latest agreement, GE Aerospace reaffirms its commitment to supporting U.S. Air Force partnerships and enabling operational readiness for F-15 and F-16 platforms globally.

“We are honored to reach this agreement with the U.S. Air Force, ensuring the F110-GE-129 remains the engine of choice for the world’s F-15 and F-16 fleets,” said Amy Gowder, president and CEO, Defense & Systems at GE Aerospace. “This contract underscores the enduring trust in the F110’s performance, reliability, and value for our customers and their critical missions.”

The F110 engine family has a proven track record of providing superior thrust and operational efficiency for military customers. As part of this latest contract, GE Aerospace will collaborate closely with the U.S. Air Force to deliver engines, spares, and associated services that meet the evolving needs of allied operators.

GE Aerospace has an installed base of approximately 45,000 commercial and 25,000 military aircraft engines.
