Accelerating Like an Airplane

It may sound strange, but in a way a gas turbine in a power station can really accelerate like an airplane engine, thanks to the “aeroderivative” gas turbine technology which results in an unmatched combination of speed, reliability and efficiency.  Being the result of imagination at work and based on a well-kown track record of life-changing innovations, the aeroderivative technology builds flexible and efficient natural-gas power plants, allowing them to quickly increase or decrease their electricity generation to compensate for variations in wind or solar power, making it easier to use intermittent sources of renewable energy. An aeroderivative gas turbine like the FlexAero LM6000 - assembled at the GE Energy plant in Veresegyház, Hungary - can generate enough electricity for a town with as many as 50,000 homes and it can get from cold iron to 50 megawatts in just 10 minutes.

Regional Takeoff

Many Boeing airplanes have at least one component made in Romania. The first GE Aviation engine designed and produced outside the US comes from the Czech Republic. And the Boeing 787, the current celebrity among airplanes, is powered by a GEnx engine partly created in Poland. In addition, components for GE, CFMI, and Rolls Royce Engines are repaired in Hungary. The CEE region plays a key role in the global business success of GE Aviation.
