In the second quarter of 2026, Culp stated that GE Aerospace raised its full-year guidance, citing the strength of the first half and momentum for the remainder of the year. He described the company's challenge as primarily supply-side, noting that the company had seen nine consecutive quarters of double-digit sequential increases from key suppliers. Culp said the company is focused on collaborative problem-solving with suppliers and making organic and inorganic investments to break bottlenecks. He also noted that the company’s commercial backlog stood at $170 billion and that the installed base is expected to grow at a low- to mid-single-digit rate through the rest of the decade. Earlier in the year, Culp said that the company was reducing its full-year departures outlook due to the conflict in the Middle East, but added that aside from current events, the company would have been discussing an increase to guidance. He stated that spare parts orders were up 30% in the first quarter and later increased to 40% year-over-year. Regarding future technology, Culp said the company believes the open fan architecture will provide efficiency and cost-of-ownership benefits for the next generation of narrow-body aircraft, though he noted it is not yet a product and that investment is needed now to be ready for a market that may be ten to fifteen years away.
