GE Aviation is readying two new turboshaft programs, one civil and one military. 

On the civil side, GE works with Bell as it completes certification of the Bell 525 super-medium twin-engine helicopter later this year. GE provides its CT7-2F1 engines for the 525. The engines received FAA certification in 2019. “We are actively supporting the [525] flight test campaign to work through that closure,” said Elissa Lee, GE director of commercial rotorcraft programs.
