NASA-backed testing has validated a complete megawatt-class propulsion system after more than a decade of technology development.
AI-powered design studies at the company’s New York research centre support faster development of future commercial and military propulsion technologies.
Compressor plant in Welkenraedt aims to support rising demand from major civil aircraft engine programmes, with operations expected to begin in 2028
An agreement sets out airport trials and a readiness framework to evaluate how Open Fan engines interact with infrastructure operations and regulatory systems.
Testing at Peebles confirmed that a hybrid electric turbofan can move and control electrical power without relying on energy storage.
A new aircraft engine assembly and testing facility launched in Nouaceur positions Morocco among the world’s few nations capable of manufacturing complete engines.
Investments will expand production for commercial and military engines, scale advanced materials and strengthen supplier networks across 16 states.
Contracts with Hindustan Aeronautics and Titan Engineering and Automation have advanced Safran's strategy to boost LEAP engine manufacturing.
Access to Frontier and Aurora supercomputers has enhanced simulations for next-generation jet engine designs and fuel efficiency improvements.
Aerolloy's newly commissioned VAR furnace and key approvals from IAI, Safran and Dassault have elevated its position in the global aerospace sector.
The LEAP engine has been a major commercial success, with over 8,500 units already in operation, accumulating more than 60 million flight hours, and an order backlog exceeding 11,600 units.
CFM reports that it is at a stage of the Revolutionary Innovation for Sustainable Engines (RISE) program in which it is doing real testing on real hardware and making real progress.
The new facility will be operational in 2027 and will further extend the company's global production network for advanced fan blades.
The Open Fan aims to reduce fuel burn and CO2 emissions by 20%, and up to 80% when combined with SAFs or sustainable aviation fuels, for the next generation of single-aisle commercial jets by 2035.
The HyTEC's Phase 2 Integrated Core Technology Demonstration is a cost-sharing contract with a maximum value of approximately $68.1 million and a five-year performance period.
Thermal and mechanical engineers at Safran will harness Ansys' simulation for engine developments including an open unducted fan, upgraded composite material to combat higher temperatures and hybrid electrification.
The partners have built three plants in Rochester (New Hampshire), Commercy (France) and Queretaro (Mexico). These are dedicated to 3D composite parts and have produced 130,000 for the LEAP engine.
Within EUMET, Safran will lead the engine's design and integration, MTU will lead the engine service activities and ITP Aero will develop the low-pressure turbine and the nozzle amongst other items.
