GE Aerospace has chosen Triumph Group’s Geared Solutions business to provide the auxiliary gearbox for the F404 afterburning turbofan engine. Potential future use on multiple applications includes the Boeing T7-A Red Hawk, Korea Aerospace T-50 Golden Eagle, and Turkish Aerospace Hürjet platforms.
Triumph Geared Solutions president Pete Gibson described the sole-source award to supply F404 auxiliary gearboxes to the legacy fleet and new aircraft as the “latest chapter in a great legacy of our supporting GE Aerospace engine applications.”
Triumph will perform the work at its facility in Macomb, Michigan. Radnor, Pennsylvania-based Triumph has provided GE Aerospace with proprietary and build-to-print projects across multiple applications for decades.
Triumph has served as a longstanding engineering and manufacturing partner with GE on military and commercial gearbox applications.
