The research firm remains optimistic about GE Aerospace’s prospects, as it expects the LEAP SV ramp to lead to higher-than-anticipated revisions. It also expects the company’s EBIT and free cash flow forecasts to exceed consensus estimates. In addition, there are prospects for further positive revisions due to a faster-than-expected LEAP SV ramp, combined with a higher price than what is modeled.

Similarly, GE Aerospace has partnered with Waygate Technologies to deploy an automated inspection system for GEnx engines to standardize and accelerate inspection of critical parts. Consequently, they have deployed automated Menu Directed Inspection (MDI) templates for GEnx-1B and -2B engine borescope inspections. The templates will help deliver a new level of standardization and automation to the inspection process.

“Together with Waygate Technologies, we’re further integrating automation and AI to help our operators drive more standardization, consistency, and efficiency with video borescope inspections for critical engine parts,” added Nicole Jenkins, Chief MRO Engineer, GE Aerospace.
