Tier 1 aerostructures supplier GKN Aerospace (Redditch, U.K.) has strengthened its partnership with GE Aerospace (Cincinnati, Ohio, U.S.) through an agreement that includes new technology insertion, fan case production and assembly, and repair of high-volume, complex engines structures. GKN already provides components for several engine series, including the GEnx high-thrust engine program (read “High-speed engine blade manufacturing”). Technology insertion programs for the GEnx will focus on alternative material solutions, providing a more sustainable manufacturing footprint for several products currently flying. GKN Aerospace will provide component design expertise as well as its latest technologies, to drive the program toward its carbon emissions reduction targets and cost reduction. Upgraded components are expected to go through development, validation and insertion from 2024 to 2030. Read more: compositesworld.com/...
