The collaboration focuses on developing an adaptable uncrewed platform with ground and flight demonstrations planned within 18 months.
The nacelle’s composite components are produced at GKN Aerospace’s Cowes site and integrated with a variety of parts sourced from the EU, UK, and US, ranging from titanium machining to wiring systems.
The harnesses will act as the aircraft's main electrical arteries, distributing power from the ten batteries, located on the sides of the fuselage, to the jet propulsion units, embedded into the main wings and canards.
GKN will provide support in engineering, electrical wiring interconnections systems design and manufacturing. It will also lead innovation projects and aerostructures design and manufacturing, with a focus on composites.
GKN is a long-standing supplier of empennages, fuselage panels, floorboards, rudders and wing skins for Gulfstream's long-range models, and this new agreement further extends that participation.
A consortium of leading aerospace and design companies based in the Netherlands has received government funding to develop a key element of future liquid hydrogen systems - a composite tank.
The Integrator UAS system is based on TNO's AMBER technology and combines ISR functions including zoom synthetic aperture radar and ground moving target indication, into the surveillance reconnaissance system.
