History of GE Aerospace

  • Founded: 2024

The brand launched on April 2, 2024, when General Electric completed its three-way split. GE HealthCare spun off in January 2023, GE Vernova in April 2024, and the remaining company adopted GE Aerospace as its operating identity while keeping the GE ticker.

The brand carries a propulsion legacy dating to World War I turbosuperchargers and America's first jet engine in 1942. Under the GE Aerospace name, the company has focused on LEAP and GE9X production ramp-up and the September 2026 agreement to acquire castings supplier Consolidated Precision Products.
