GE Aerospace (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GE#NYSE">GE</a>) and Oak Ridge National Laboratory have teamed up under a new CRADA to boost supercomputing capabilities, aiming to advance next-generation <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/24/07/n39873885/ge-aerospace-and-u-s-department-of-energy-reach-agreement-to-expand-supercomputing-capability-for-" rel="noreferrer noopener">aircraft engine technologies like Open Fan</a>.
Oak Ridge National Laboratory, home to Frontier—the fastest supercomputer at over a quintillion calculations per second—is renowned for its advanced computing expertise.
Oak Ridge will enhance GE Aerospace&#8217;s ability to handle large simulations, extract data efficiently, leverage AI tools for better result interpretation, and improve physics visualization.
GE Aerospace plans to hire over 900 engineers in 2024 to drive innovation and support both current engine programs and future flight technologies.
The company developed computational fluid dynamics software for Frontier to model the aerodynamic and acoustic performance of its full-scale Open Fan engine.
Mohamed Ali, senior vice president of engineering for GE Aerospace said, &#8220;Supercomputing and access to Frontier is changing the way we design jet engines, allowing us to solve previously impossible problems. We&#8217;re now able to digitally fly components of an Open Fan at full-scale in a simulated environment before the hardware is built.&#8221;
&#8220;Our expanded research collaboration through a new cooperative agreement with Oak Ridge National Laboratory will accelerate our engine design and testing, building confidence that Open Fan architecture is the most promising engine technology to help the aviation industry meet its net zero ambitions.&#8221;
Today, Kratos Defense &amp; Security Solutions, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KTOS#NASDAQ">KTOS</a>) and GE Aerospace have signed a Memorandum of Understanding to develop and produce cost-effective small engines for unmanned <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/24/07/g39877552/ge-aerospace-and-kratos-partner-on-small-affordable-engines" rel="noreferrer noopener">aerial systems and collaborative combat aircraft</a>.
The partnership builds on an existing joint development agreement and includes full-scale engine production.
Last week, GE Aerospace announced plans to invest over $1 billion over the next five years to expand its global Maintenance, Repair, and&nbsp;Overhaul (MRO) <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/07/39860866/ge-aerospace-commits-1b-to-enhance-global-repair-and-overhaul-facilities" rel="noreferrer noopener">and component repair facilities</a>.

While Tesla Inc&#8216;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) sales in the U.S. have been <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/07/39595720/tesla-deliveries-fall-for-second-straight-quarter-but-stock-takes-off-as-q2-numbers-exceed-expec">dropping since the start of the year</a>, South Korean automaker Hyundai Motor (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HYMTF#OTC">HYMTF</a>) and Japanese player Toyota Motor Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TM#NYSE">TM</a>) have been gaining ground in the country. 
Tesla Sales Drop: Tesla sales in the U.S. fell by nearly 10% since the start of the year and through the end of the second quarter, according to Kelley Blue Book estimates. Tesla does not segment its deliveries geography-wise, leaving third-party data as the sole means of tracking their sales in the country. 
As per the data, Tesla sold 304,451 units in the first half of the year as opposed to 336,892 vehicles in the corresponding period of last year.
While the sales drop was experienced across Tesla&#8217;s lineup, Model 3 sales took the largest hit. The company sold only 73,552 Model 3 sedans in the first half of this year as opposed to 112,791 units in the first half of 2023, likely due to the production ramp of the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/04/38511618/tesla-researcher-thinks-ev-giants-biggest-challenge-in-q2-comes-from-one-of-its-cas">updated Model 3</a> at the company&#8217;s Fremont factory.
Tesla introduced the updated version of the Model 3 in the U.S. market <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/01/36570546/you-can-finally-order-teslas-new-model-3-in-america-heres-its-starting-price">in January.</a> 
Foreign Players Sell More EVs: But despite the American EV giant dropping in sales, foreign players have gained ground. Toyota sold 9,468 EVs in the period, marking a jump of 159% year-on-year. Toyota&#8217;s luxury brand Lexus, meanwhile, saw EV sales jump about 405% to 5,639 units, owing to the rise in popularity of its Lexus RZ electric SUV.
South Korea&#8217;s Hyundai too is rising in popularity in the region. While Hyundai saw its EV sales surge 34% to 29,105 units owing to the popularity of its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/07/39630731/mustang-mach-e-drives-fords-q2-ev-sales-ahead-of-gm-but-its-still-just-a-fraction-of-elon-musks-tesl">Ioniq models</a>, its sister brand Kia saw sales jump 104% to 27,634 units.
Hyundai&#8217;s luxury brand Genesis also marked a nearly 27% growth in sales to 3,241 units, with the popularity of its GV70 Performance SUV making up for the drop in sales of its other EVs including the G80.
Other Domestic Player Performance: Foreign brands are not alone in their EV sales growth. Michigan-based Ford Motor Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/F#NYSE">F</a>) <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/07/39630731/mustang-mach-e-drives-fords-q2-ev-sales-ahead-of-gm-but-its-still-just-a-fraction-of-elon-musks-tesl">saw a 71.8% jump in EV sales</a> in the first six months of 2024 to 44,180 units, while American EV startup Rivian Automotive (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RIVN#NASDAQ">RIVN</a>) registered a 33% rise in sales to 27,378, according to Kelley Blue Book data.
General Motors&#8216; (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GM#NYSE">GM</a>) Cadillac brand also <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/07/39612749/60-000-cadillac-lyriq-drives-gms-q2-ev-sales-after-bolt-is-discontinued">saw sales rise by 465% to 13,094 units, owing to a rise in sales of its Lyriq SUV</a> while Chevrolet EV sales dropped by nearly 41% to 19,918 units, likely due to the stop in production of its Bolt EV in December.
