Lockheed Martin Commercial Engine Solutions (LMCES) and GE Aviation signed two OnPoint solution agreements for the material to overhaul CF6 and CF34 engines. The one-year agreements are valued at US$10m over the life of the agreement.
Following a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) established in 2014 between GE Aviation’s Hamble facility and India’s Mahindra Aerospace, the two companies have further developed their relationship by signing an agreement that will initiate manufacture, following Airbus transfer of work approval, of an Airbus Single Aisle package of work. The initial MOU enabled both companies to work together on potential opportunities in manufacture of aerostructures. This new agreement will see them collaborate to produce small, metallic complex structural sheet details and assemblies within Mahindra’s new Aerospace facility in Bangalore, India.
GE Aviation recently delivered the 10,000th flight management computer (model 2907C1) to The Boeing Company marking an era of continuous partnership in support of the versatile 737 airplane. “GE’s flight management system has been standard fit on the Boeing 737 since 1984. The current system, now in its 4th evolution, will meet 737 needs into the future,” said Alan Caslavka, president of Avionics and Digital Systems for GE Aviation. More than 4,500 Next Generation 737s have been delivered with GE’s current flight management computer (FMC) and various 737 Classic airplanes have been retrofitted.
