In context

“ssing to the XA102, aligned with the U.S. Air Force's next-generation adaptive propulsion or NGAP program. Importantly, earlier this month, Congress funded $750 million for the F/A-XX through the reconciliation bill in the coming years. And the U.S. Navy recognized its need for a sixth-generation fighter as the only platform capable of delivering the combination of range, stealth, advanced sensors and standoff capabilities necessary to operate across mission sets in highly contested environments. We stand ready to deliver and encourage the Pentagon to move forward with this important program that Congress has already funded. Through Avio Aero, we represent Italy as an equal propulsion partner with the U.K. and Japan in the Global Combat Air program, a next-gen indigenous European fighter. We're actively investing to support a targeted 2035 entry into service. And at the same time, with Kratos, we're advancing propulsion technologies for affordable unmanned aerial systems by the end of the decade. And to accelerate development of advanced hypersonic propulsion systems, we recently announced significant investments in our test infrastructure at select manufacturing sites, enabling us to conduct higher mission relevant testing. Inventing the future flight has always motivated the GE Aerospace team. We're building upon our leadership positions across both defense and commercial. Shifting to the outlook on Slide 17. Rahul will cover the second quarter results momentarily. But so far, in '25, we're off to an excellent start enabling us to raise both our near- and longer-term outlook. For 2028, we're raising our outlook for profit and free cash flow”
