General Electric Co
ge.comGeneral Electric Co (NYSE: GE), operating as GE Aerospace, is an aerospace company that designs, manufactures, and services jet engines and propulsion systems for commercial and defense customers. Revenue comes from two primary streams: equipment sales of aircraft engines and long-term service agreements tied to the installed base of engines in operation. Demand for commercial products tracks air travel and freight volumes, while the defense business depends on U.S. federal and allied government defense budgets. GE Aerospace is headquartered at 1 Neumann Way, Evendale, OH, with executive offices also in Washington, DC and Norwalk, CT. The company reports through two segments: Commercial Engines & Services and Defense & Propulsion Technologies. Total R&D spending reached $2,989 million in FY2025, split between $1,580 million funded by GE Aerospace and $1,409 million funded by customers and partners. Cash from operating activities was $8.5 billion in FY2025, an increase of $2.7 billion from FY2024.
