GE Rides Record Backlog into Farnborough 2018
Company intent on meeting aggressive delivery schedule

Carrying an industrial backlog of engines and services contracts worth $200 billion, GE Aviation enters the Farnborough Airshow intent on building on its already broad commitments in commercial aviation while expanding its footprint in the military sector. This week at the show, GE and its partner companies expect to add to their backlog of orders and commitments covering more than 15,000 commercial engines, including the GE9X for the Boeing 777X and CFM Leap for the Airbus A320neo and Boeing 737 Max. Meanwhile, rising U.S. defense science and technology budgets have prompted GE Aviation in the past two years to transfer more than 750 engineers to a growing portfolio of military development programs, including fighter and turboshaft engines.
