Aerojet and Rocketdyne trace their roots to the dawn of the space age, with both companies building the engines that powered multiple generations of ICBMs and manned space vehicles. But the long-term outlook for both suppliers became clouded in recent years with the sharp decline in the demand for government launch services and the advent of new, lower-cost rivals, such as Space Exploration Technologies (SpaceX).

The A400M airlifter has been through more than its fair share of development and cost issues on the road to service entry, but with its operational debut on the horizon, Airbus Military is gearing up for a hectic final phase of military-specific testing.
General Electric (GE) has revealed plans to launch new variants of its recently certified H80 turboprop as part of an aggressive push to challenge Pratt & Whitney Canada’s market dominance. The two derivatives of the H80 are the H75 and H85. The H75 engine will be rated at 750 shp and the H85 engine will be rated at 850 shp. Although no specific applications have been identified, GE says that like the H80, the H75 and H85 will be aimed primarily at the agricultural, commuter, utility and business turboprop market.
