ABOUT FTAI AVIATION LTD. (NASDAQ: FTAI)
FTAI owns and maintains commercial jet engines with a focus on CFM56 and V2500 engines. FTAI’s propriety portfolio of products, including the Module Factory and a joint venture to manufacture engine PMA, enables it to provide cost savings and flexibility to our airline, lessor, and maintenance, repair, and operations customer base. Additionally, FTAI owns and leases jet aircraft which often facilitates the acquisition of engines at attractive prices. FTAI invests in aviation assets and aerospace products that generate strong and stable cash flows with the potential for earnings growth and asset appreciation.
FTAI operates globally and has offices in New York, Miami, Montréal, Singapore. Dubai, United Kingdom and Ireland.
ABOUT FTAI POWER
FTAI Power is a new and rapidly growing platform within FTAI Aviation dedicated to converting CFM56 jet engines — the most widely produced commercial aircraft engine in history — into 25-megawatt aeroderivative gas turbines engineered to deliver reliable, flexible, and rapidly deployable power to data centers and AI hyperscalers worldwide.
Launched in December 2025, FTAI Power was built in direct response to the unprecedented surge in electricity demand driven by artificial intelligence infrastructure. As AI hyperscalers and cloud operators face multi-year backlogs to secure traditional grid connections, FTAI Power offers an immediately scalable alternative: a modular, 25-MW turbine that can be deployed quickly, operated flexibly, and maintained using the same world-class MRO infrastructure FTAI has built over decades in commercial aviation.
The CFM56 — with over 34,000 engines delivered globally — is the ideal candidate for aeroderivative conversion. FTAI Power remanufactures the proven CFM56 core and adapts it with aeroderivative components using a proprietary conversion architecture developed over more than a year of engineering. The result is a compact, high-reliability gas turbine that gives grid operators and data center owners finer output control than large-frame alternatives, with a conversion cycle of just 30 to 45 days per unit
KEY RESPONSIBILITIES
- Execute the electrical build-out of FTAI Power’s CFM56-based aeroderivative packages from the ground up: cabling, terminations, conduit installation, control panel wiring, instrumentation, and system integration in the production facility.
- Commission completed FTAI Power units at customer sites: perform pre-energization checks, loop verification, functional testing, generator synchronization, load bank testing, and paralleling operations through to handover.
- Install, inspect,maintain, troubleshoot, and repair all electrical systems on aeroderivative gas turbine packages including starter/ignition systems, fuel control wiring, generator excitation and AVR systems, load management panels, and protective relay and trip circuits.
- Perform preventive maintenance (PM) and scheduled outage work on turbine package electrical systems per OEM manuals, FTAI Power procedures, and applicable standards, minimizing unit downtime for power generation customers.
- Diagnose and resolve complex electrical faults on turbine control systems: GE Mark V/VI/VIe, Woodward 505/5009, ABB, Bently Nevada vibration monitoring, or equivalent platforms used on FTAI Power and legacy aero derivative packages.
- Read, interpret, and execute from complex electrical schematics, wiring diagrams, one-line diagrams, loop drawings, P&IDs, and package interconnect drawings specific to aeroderivative power generation configurations.
- Install and terminate high- and low-voltage cabling, conduit systems, cable trays, junction boxes, and instrumentation in compliance with NEC, API, IEC, and site electrical standards applicable to power generation facilities and data center campuses.
- Test electrical systems using calibrated equipment: multimeters, megohmmeters, oscilloscopes, loop calibrators, and power quality analyzers; perform insulation resistance, continuity, Hi-Pot testing, and ground fault isolation.
- Maintain, calibrate, and replace sensors, transmitters, thermocouples, RTDs, proximity probes, and instrumentation supporting turbine health monitoring and power output performance systems.
