Army Clears GE’s T901 Engine for Qualification Flights, Accelerating ITEP
The U.S. Army granted GE Aerospace’s T901 a Preliminary Flight Rating in June 2026, clearing the engine for qualification flights intended to support replacement of T700 engines in UH-60 Black Hawks and AH-64 Apaches. GE says its revised plan saves 12 months and about $75 million; program funding and manufacturing investments indicate continued development, but no new solicitation is identified.
