GE Aerospace has announced the successful completion of additional testing for its XA100 engine, bringing the cutting-edge technology a step closer to deployment for the U.S. Air Force. The XA100 engine, part of the Adaptive Engine Transition Program (AETP), has undergone its third round of testing at GE Aerospace’s Evendale, Ohio facility.
The XA100 engine completed additional testing to validate minor design improvements, solidify the engine’s detailed design and digital models, and accelerate adaptive propulsion development for sixth-generation applications.\
