“In the battle for AI dominance, every engine of the economy is getting recruited into the fight—including jet engines. 

Jet engine leasing and repair company FTAI Aviation plans to start selling a modified version of the engine used in the Boeing 737 to power data centers this year…

Jefferies equity analyst Sheila Kahyaoglu said about 1,600 commercial aircraft engines are retired every year. If a third of those engines get converted into turbines the size of FTAI’s turbine product, that would represent about 13 GW of capacity, or more than a quarter of the existing global natural gas turbine capacity estimated by Morgan Stanley. The U.S. Energy Information Administration estimates that there are enough engines in retired military aircraft to convert to as much as 40 GW of power generating capacity, though this figure is very theoretical.”
