GE와 한국 방위산업의 인연 – GE코리아 강성욱 사장 인터뷰

2015년 4월 15일

GE와 대한민국 국군이 오랫동안 인연을 다져왔다는 사실을 아직 모르는 사람도 많다. 하지만 한국전쟁 당시 GE의 추진 시스템이 장착된 전투기가 참여한 이래, GE는 한국 방위산업의 발전을 위해 지속적으로 기여했다. GE리포트 코리아에서는 GE코리아 강성욱 사장과의 인터뷰를 통해, 한국 방위산업과 GE의 인연에 대한 이야기를 들어보았다.

GE항공기술과 대한민국

분단 국가인 한국의 국방은 동아시아, 나아가 세계의 평화와 밀접한 관련이 있다. 세계 첨단 군사 기술의 발전과 더불어, 한국은 스스로의 힘으로 국방 관련 기술을 개발하기 위해 꾸준히 노력해왔다. GE는 이런 한국의 국방 역사와 깊은 인연이 있다. 구축함부터 헬기, 전투기에 이르는 다양한 방면에서 활약하고 있는 GE의 엔진을 만나보자.

This Ultra Performance Heat Exchanger is a perfect example of how small parts can make a HUGE difference. Still in development, the additively manufactured compact heat exchanger is printed with a high-temperature capable, crack-resistant nickel superalloy that will be able to withstand temps that exceed 1,650°F at pressures >3,600 psi. Good thing, too, because it’s headed straight for the inside of a gas turbine, where it’s projected to deliver a 4% improvement in thermal efficiency for supercritical C02 power cycles while improving power output and reducing emissions. Cleaner, more efficient power generation here we come.
Colder weather is on the way. If you’re in Winnipeg, Canada, that means ice testing is too. There, @geaviation test engines are pummeled with sub-zero winds and ice. The harsh conditions on the ground make sure engines are ready to face the elements in the air. #AVgeek #jetengine #engineering
Slice into an additively-made part from @geadditive and you’ll see geometries once thought impossible with traditional manufacturing methods. Why the hype? Engineers can now find greater strength and efficiency through design. #engineering #additive #3Dprinting #manufacturing
Spooky season is here, but don't let your annual mammogram scare you. Nearly 30% of women in the U.S. admit to skipping breast screenings out of fear. That's why @gehealthcare engineers decided to better the experience with a mammography system designed by women, for women. Melding comforting design with cutting edge technology, the Senographe Pristina aims to humanize the process for patients, technicians, and radiologists. #BCAM #Mammography #breastcancerawareness
Wind, meet water. In Germany’s Swabian-Franconian Forest, you’ll find the world’s tallest (584 ft) and first-ever wind turbines integrated with pumped storage hydroelectric power. So how does it work? At the base of each wind turbine sits a reservoir. Water flowing downhill from the reservoirs will power the hydro plant when electricity is needed. When there’s an energy surplus, the hydro power will push the water back up the hill to the reservoirs, where it will act as a giant battery for the wind turbines. So no matter if the wind is blowing or not, electricity will always be flowing
