Airplane Engines Transition to Power Generation Amid Energy Crisis
Companies are adapting aircraft engines for energy production to meet increasing demands. This shift addresses the urgent need for reliable power sources as global turbine orders surge.

ProEnergy can replace a faulty component within 72 hours, achieving full operational capacity in five minutes while maintaining emissions below EPA limits. FTAI Aviation plans to launch a division by the end of 2025 to convert CFM56 engines into power units, each producing 25 megawatts with over 100 units projected annually.
Boom Supersonic is developing a 42-megawatt turbine for AI data centers from their Symphony engine. Global gas turbine orders reached 110 gigawatts by late 2025, while production capacity is estimated at 60-70 gigawatts, leading to historical price increases. The market pressure extends globally, affecting energy security and supply in Europe, where Germany aims to build gas plants for 20 gigawatts by 2030.
