As technology testing continues for the RISE program, momentum is growing. Unveiled in 2021 by CFM International, a 50/50 joint company between GE Aerospace and Safran Aircraft Engines, the program is advancing flight technologies that aim to be 20% more fuel efficient than current commercial engines.
The designer and manufacturer is recruiting more than 900 engineers to develop new architectures and material and process technologies for civil and military aircraft propulsion.
