The new facility will be operational in 2027 and will further extend the company's global production network for advanced fan blades.
During the HEROPS project's three-year period, the partners, led by MTU, plan to build a ground demonstrator with 1.2 megawatts of power. Regional aircraft could be using the system by 2035.
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.
By combining a high-power electric motor for aircraft propulsion, an electric turbo compressor, a high-flux plastic magnet rotor and an electric hydrogen turbo-blower, IHI will electrify and optimise propulsion systems.
GKN Aerospace has secured life-of-programme contracts under the new agreement. It will now deliver 100% of GEnx, CF6 and GE90 fan cases, as well as 50% of GE9X fan case assembly for the duration of the programme.
Production has begun with the installation of assembly tooling and the initiation of various system production lines, marking a significant milestone along BETA's path to delivering the ALIA CTOL and the ALIA VTOL.
Liebherr's centre of competence for air and thermal management systems in Toulouse will provide a modern air management system, while NORDAM will develop the nacelles in the US and Mexico.
The metallic honeycomb is manufactured using materials suitable for higher temperatures and offers advantages in weight savings and acoustic attenuation.
The eBuffer will maximize safety, efficiency and weight while balancing electric and mechanical constraints, as a piece of the electrical system that will complement the Fuel Cell primary power source.
Plant 4.0 will produce more than 2,000 blades and vanes a day, with innovative, autonomous real-time quality control at every critical stage of production. It will be operational in 2025 and will employ around 100 people.
The FAA is the third aviation authority to give its stamp of approval for the PW812D engine, after Transport Canada and the European Union Aviation Safety Agency.
A new project will combine two innovative technologies - Water-Enhanced Turbofan and hybrid-electric propulsion - with Pratt & Whitney's GTFTM engine architecture.
The C919 features an integrated propulsion system, bringing the Nexcelle joint venture-supplied nacelle, thrust reverser and exhaust system together with CFM International's LEAP-1C powerplant.
Engine certification will continue through the first half of 2023, including flights currently under way on the P&W flying test bed in Mirabel, as well as endurance testing to ensure product maturity at entry into service.
The module includes a novel lightweight turbine exhaust case design with separated thermal and mechanical functionality. It can withstand higher temperatures than current TEC's, but also saves weight.
The XA100 is a flight-weight engine that would provide the F-35 with 30% more range, greater than 20% faster acceleration, and significant mission systems growth for Block 4 upgrades, and beyond.
FACC has been commissioned by Rolls-Royce - a customer of twenty years standing - with the development and manufacture of composite components for the new Pearl 10X engine.
The new generation engine will be 25 per cent more fuel efficient than the original Trent 700, and its UltraFan ITP features a new architecture and light-weight composite materials.
