I was founded by Thomas Edison in 1889. My research lab created the tungsten filament in 1908. I developed moldable plastic in 1930 and built the first U.S. jet engine in 1942. My wind-turbine business dates back to my purchase of Enron’s wind assets. Today, with a market value recently over $97 billion, I’m a multinatio­nal conglomera­te, focused

primarily on power, renewable energy, aviation and health care. I boast an installed base of more than 7,700 gas turbines, 45,000 onshore wind turbines and 64,000 commercial and military aircraft engines. As 2020 began, I employed around 205,000 people. Who am I?
