Larry Culp, Chairman and CEO of GE Aerospace, has been active in discussing the company's recent performance and technological developments. At the Farnborough International Air Show in July 2026, Culp highlighted the first-ever high-altitude hybrid electric flight, conducted with partners including Boeing, Beta Technologies, and NASA as part of an electrified powertrain demonstrator program. He also discussed the company's open fan architecture, describing it as a technology development program that he believes could offer efficiency and maintenance cost benefits for future narrow-body engines, while noting it is not yet a product. Culp has also addressed GE Aerospace's financial results and supply chain progress. In the second quarter of 2026, he reported revenues up 20%, engine deliveries up over 30% in the first half, and aftermarket revenues up over 30%, attributing these results to improved supplier collaboration. He noted nine consecutive quarters of double-digit sequential increases in supplier inputs and described the company's challenge as supply-side rather than demand-side, citing a $210 billion backlog. Culp also mentioned raising 2026 guidance across the board and discussed defense engine deliveries, which were up 15% in the quarter, alongside plans to invest $1 billion in U.S. manufacturing.
