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.
BAE Systems, Moog, Safran, Thales and Woodward will all contribute technology to the Flight Control System on the JetZero full-scale blended wing body (BWB) demonstrator.
The landing gear expert company currently works with more than 25 airframers, and has been a committed partner in the Bell tiltrotor program since 2018.
The company will pursue new use cases for Boom's Overture to support government and military operations that require rapid response, including reconnaissance, command and control, and mobility and logistics.
Experience with the V-22 Osprey will be invaluable now that Safran has been selected to provide landing gear and braking systems for the V-280 Valor program. Four sites in Europe and North America will play a part.
Safran's devices are attached to landing gear areas shown to produce increased noise due to air flow when an aircraft is flying low before landing, reducing the noise that can be heard from the ground.
