GE Aerospace has entered into a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with Poland’s Military Aviation Works (WZL-2) to develop a comprehensive MRO program for the F110-GE-129 engine.
The collaboration, under state-owned PGZ Group, will evaluate maintenance infrastructure, including tooling, machining capabilities, workforce training, and test facility upgrades.
Enhancing Poland’s F110 Maintenance Ecosystem
According to GE, the F110’s modular design — featuring Shop Replacement Units (SRUs) — enables 90% of servicing to occur domestically, improving readiness and reducing long-term costs.
With 29,500 pounds of thrust, the engine powers Boeing’s F-15EX and Lockheed Martin’s F-16 Block 50/72 fighters.
While Poland continues evaluating a potential F-15EX purchase, it has already committed to upgrading its F-16 Block 52 fleet to Block 72 configuration by August 2025.
Additionally, GE Aerospace signed an F110 cooperation agreement with the Polish Military University of Technology (WAT) in September, aiming to establish a dedicated training academy and explore an additive manufacturing lab for advanced engine maintenance.
