  * A dual-mode ramjet was developed and tested in less than 11
    months
  * Testing demonstrates a threefold increase in airflow compared to
    previously flight-tested hypersonic technology demonstrators

CINCINNATI - July 10, 2024 - GE Aerospace announced today the
successful demonstration of a new, cutting-edge hypersonic dual-mode
ramjet. This achievement - which could enable high-speed flight and
longer range across numerous multi-mission aircraft - represents the
most recent milestone in a diverse portfolio of hypersonic programs.

The dual-mode ramjet began testing in March of this year in the clean
air, continuous flow, high-speed propulsion testing facility in
Evendale, OH, just 11 months after the launch of the design effort.
The testing delivered promising results, exceeding performance
expectations and demonstrating robust operation of a dual-mode ramjet
with a threefold (3X) increase in airflow compared to previously
flight-tested hypersonic technology demonstrators.

"The rapid progression from design to testing underscores our
commitment to driving innovation in hypersonic technologies," said
Amy Gowder, president and CEO of Defense & Systems at GE Aerospace.
"This milestone not only shows the exceptional talent and dedication
of our team but also reaffirms our position as a leader in the
pursuit of hypersonic flight."

The successful development and testing of the dual-mode ramjet in
such a short period of time was made possible through the
collaboration of GE Aerospace's team of engineers, Innoveering - a
company acquired by GE Aerospace in 2022 that specializes in
hypersonic propulsion - and GE Aerospace's Research Center.

"The technology's robust performance paves the way for the next phase
of development, which will focus on continued testing and technology
demonstration in alignment with our roadmap for integrated high-speed
propulsion solutions," said Mark Rettig, vice president & general
manager of Edison Works Business & Technology Development at GE
Aerospace.
