GKN Aerospace

Boeing has bought back the St. Louis defense aircraft factory it once owned but was most recently under the GKN Aerospace brand.

GKN Aerospace is nearing critical milestones in its H2Gear hydrogen-electric powertrain research and technology project after overcoming supply chain issues.

Aerospace supplier GKN Aerospace is in the final stages of a multiyear restructuring.

Sweden is beginning to ponder what follows the Gripen as it looks to preserve its national combat aircraft development capability.

Demonstrators built under Clean Sky 2, the project’s predecessor, were exhibited at the annual forum as a source of motivation.

Certifying electric engines; Call for UK hydrogen funding; More eVTOLs for USAF; and the UK’s future flight road map.

Sweden has awarded contracts to Saab and GKN Aerospace to begin studies into future combat aircraft and propulsion development.

A consortium of UK and European companies have called on the British government to provide additional funding towards making the hydrogen fuel plan a reality.

Tier 1 aerostructures supplier GKN Aerospace is expanding production of key Leap 1 components.

Fuel systems for hydrogen; 3D printing on the Moon; LH2 tank breakthrough; the cost of avoiding contrails; and Velis Electro approved for training.

Leonardo Helicopters is completing the final assembly of its Next-Generation Civil Tiltrotor Demonstrator ahead of an expected first flight in the coming weeks.

Two-thirds of Europe’s Clean Aviation research projects are focused on more sustainable advanced propulsion technologies for service entry in the mid-2030s.

Validating the design of the fan blades is the overarching goal of a monthslong campaign at ONERA’s S1MA wind tunnel.

GKN Aerospace has announced a £50 million ($64 million) investment to create additive manufacturing capability at its Trollhattan, Sweden, production facility.

The UK government is expected to provide £975 million in funding support for the country’s civil aerospace industry over five years starting in 2025.

Nevertheless, the British manufacturer is raising its financial expectations for both 2023 and 2024.

GKN Aerospace has strengthened its position on several GE engine programs through a new, wide-ranging agreement.

The contract is part of a multi-phase project on which GKN has been working since 2019 with Sweden’s Defense Materiel Administration (FMV) and Saab.

For too long, OEMs assumed that compliant aerostructures suppliers were a given. That era is over, and aerospace stakeholders must plan for a new reality.

China is learning the science of airliners, but politics remains an issue, experts say.

GKN Aerospace will provide the electrical wiring system for the hybrid-electric flight demonstrator under development by Pratt & Whitney Canada.

Liquid-hydrogen fuel systems; TCab eVTOL flies; Tiltwing UAS demo; New twin launched; Fuel-cell compressor.

Tier 1 aerospace suppliers see the AAM industry as a way to bridge the business and technology gaps to the next single-aisle airliner.

Tier 1 aerostructures supplier GKN Aerospace is leaning into the advanced air mobility industry.

Aerostructures and parts provider GKN Aerospace plans to close its manufacturing facility in the St. Louis area by the end of 2024.
