GE Aerospace (ISIN US3696043013) has completed a high-speed, low-pressure turbine test for its Open Fan engine architecture, adding a new European technology milestone to the CFM RISE program. The GE Aerospace release dated October 27, 2026, said engineers completed the first testing campaign for the turbine at the Polonia Aero laboratory in Zielonka, Poland.
Testing moves toward flight use
The tested low-pressure turbine is a key component of the Open Fan architecture, which removes the traditional engine casing to enable a larger fan. GE Aerospace said the design aims to reduce drag and improve fuel efficiency and durability, while data from the campaign will support further development toward flight tests this decade.
The result is significant for the program because engineers conducted more than 1,000 hours of testing beginning in 2025 and validated both aerodynamic and aerothermal performance. GE Aerospace said the custom test rig replicated a broad range of flight conditions through controlled air flow, temperature and pressure.
What does the Poland work add?
The project gives GE Aerospace a European testing base for an engine architecture designed around lower fuel consumption. The company said the CFM RISE program targets more than 20 percent better fuel burn than commercial engines in service today. CFM International is a 50-50 joint company of GE Aerospace and Safran Aircraft Engines, and the program is a technology demonstrator rather than a product offered for commercial sale.
GE Aerospace also said its Poland operation has more than 2,300 employees across five locations covering engineering, research and development, manufacturing and engine maintenance. That operating footprint gives the test milestone a broader industrial context beyond the laboratory result.
