GE Aerospace and Shield AI to Power Autonomous VTOL Fighter Jet
GE Aerospace and Shield AI will collaborate on propulsion technologies for Shield AI’s new X-BAT vehicle program. Through the MoU, the F110-GE-129 engine, featuring the advanced Axisymmetric Vectoring Exhaust Nozzle (AVEN), has been selected to power the X-BAT. GE Aerospace will provide propulsion and testing support for the X-BAT program.
Unveiled on October 21 in Washington, D.C., X-BAT is an AI-piloted vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) fighter jet by Shield AI engineered for contested and austere environments. Powered by Shield AI’s proven Hivemind autonomy software, X-BAT delivers scalable, survivable combat mass in contested environments and can operate independently or as a drone wingman. The partnership will accelerate development and readiness for future unmanned applications.
