GE Aerospace has successfully completed the Detailed Design Review (DDR) for its XA102 adaptive cycle engine, a significant milestone that supports the US Air Force’s Next Generation Adaptive Propulsion (NGAP) program.  

Announced on February 19, 2025, this achievement sets the stage for the subsequent phase, which involves procuring, assembling, and testing a full-scale demonstrator engine of the XA102. 

According to Dr. Steve “Doogie” Russell, Vice President and General Manager of Edison Works at GE Aerospace, the utilization of model-based engineering has greatly contributed to the success of the XA102 engine design.
