GE Aviation Czech (GEAC) is the Turboprop division of GE Aviation, a provider of aircraft engines and related components and systems. The company recently embarked in the development of Catalyst™, a clean- sheet engine in more than 30 years for the turboprop segment.
The end goal of the development program is to certify the new engine for commercial flights — a process that has involved hundreds of engineers over several years. They’ve worked closely together to manufacture, instrument, and assemble the very first engines before they go through draconian testing in specialized test centers.
