GE Aerospace has signed an MOU with Military Aviation Works No. 2 (WZL-2) in Warsaw, Poland, to explore opportunities for developing MRO services for the F110-GE-129 engine that powers Boeing’s F-15EX fighter jet.
The MOU was signed in Warsaw by Jakub Gazda, CEO of WZL-2, Zbigniew Matuszczak, Technical Director and Management Board Member at WZL-2, and Sean Keith, F110 Product Director at GE Aerospace.
Keith described the F110 as a proven engine with more than 40 years of innovation. He said the engine’s design allows up to 90% of maintenance to be carried out domestically through Shop Replacement Units (SRUs). This approach cuts aircraft downtime and lowers lifecycle costs. He added that the partnership would help build Poland’s local maintenance capability and meet future support needs.
Under the MOU, both organisations will study what is required to support depot-level and intermediate maintenance. This will include assessing tooling, machining, training, and test cell upgrades needed for the F110-GE-129 engine.
The agreement follows another MOU signed last month between GE Aerospace and Poland’s Military University of Technology (WAT). That collaboration focuses on expanding F110 engine training and education. It also explores the creation of an Aircraft Engine Additive Manufacturing Laboratory at WAT. If the project proceeds, GE Aerospace will supply course materials and help design training programmes for the F110 engine.
The F110-GE-129 delivers 29,500 pounds of thrust and remains the only fully integrated engine for the F-15EX Eagle II. It is currently in production and powering aircraft in service with the United States Air Force.
The new partnership marks another step in strengthening Poland’s aerospace maintenance and technical training ecosystem.
