The US military is buying remanufactured jet engine parts for the F108

The US military awarded a contract to Eaton Corp to remanufacture fuel gear motors for F108 jet engines. This means the military is extending the life of existing parts rather than buying new ones for these engines.

The F108 engine powers many US Air Force aircraft, including the B-52 bomber and KC-135 tanker. Using remanufactured parts can significantly reduce maintenance costs and extend the operational life of these aging fleets. This approach allows the military to keep older, but still effective, aircraft flying longer without the expense of new engine procurement.
