GE Aerospace announced that it has been awarded a contract from the U.S. Air Force to complete the preliminary design review for its new GE426 engine in support of the Air Force's medium thrust class Autonomous Collaborative Platform effort. Under this contract, GE Aerospace will mature the GE426 prototype engine through preliminary design review, and further refine system capability, producibility, and cost while ensuring alignment with Air Force requirements for the medium-thrust-class ACP fleet. "We've proven we can rapidly move from concept to engine demonstration with the GEK800, and our focus now is on applying that process to the GE426 to ensure it provides the performance, affordability and readiness the warfighter needs," said Steve "Doogie" Russell, Vice President and General Manager of Edison Works at GE Aerospace.
