ABOUT FTAI POWER
FTAI Power is a new and rapidly growing platform within FTAI Aviation dedicated to converting CFM
56 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 CFM
56 - with over 34,000 engines delivered globally - is the ideal candidate for aeroderivative conversion. FTAI Power remanufactures the proven CFM
56 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
