GE Aerospace’s engines are powering some of the region's most critical air forces, including the Republic of Singapore Air Force, providing its Boeing F-15SGs and AH-64 Apaches with F110 and T700 engines, respectively; and South Korea, with the largest fleet of T700-powered aircraft outside the United States.
More than 1,500 GE Aerospace military engines have been selected for South Korea's military aircraft, including the F-15K Slam Eagle, T/FA-50 Golden Eagle, Korean Utility Helicopter Surion, UH-60 Black Hawk, and AH-64 Apache attack helicopter.
In addition, T700 engines are being operated by all regional customers. The navies of several countries in the Asia Pacific, including Japan, South Korea, Thailand, and Australia operate surface naval vessels powered by GE’s LM500 or LM2500 gas turbines. Countries like Australia, Japan, South Korea, among others, operate commercial-derivative mobility fleets powered by CFM56, CFM LEAP, CF6 and GEnx engines.
We have cultivated long-standing relationships with countries in the region and contributed to the advancement of their military aviation capabilities. We are actively involved in supporting South Korea's indigenous fighter jet program, KF-21 Boramae (powered by F414 engines) in collaboration with Hanwha Aerospace and Korea Aerospace Industries.
