2 weapons

GE Aerospace became an independent public company on 2 April 2024 after completion of the GE Vernova spin-off, while continuing to trade on the New York Stock Exchange under the GE ticker. Its defense portfolio is centered on aircraft propulsion and related services rather than complete weapon platforms, with engines tied to fighter aircraft, trainers, helicopters, and support systems.

The company's military engine pages identify current product families such as F110, F404, F414, T408, T700, T901, F108, F138, and LM-series marine gas turbines. GE Aerospace describes its defense work as spanning rotorcraft, combat aircraft, trainers, tankers, airlift aircraft, marine applications, and Edison Works advanced-engine efforts including adaptive-cycle, hypersonic, and small-engine programs.
