Swift Aircraft and GKN announced on June 14 that they will work together to develop design concepts for the integration of the cryogenic system on the platform.
Safran Aircraft Engines is coordinating a European technology demonstration program that is intended to pave the way for flight testing of an open-fan engine.
GKN Aerospace is preparing to begin initial tests of elements of its H2GEAR electric-aircraft powertrain research and technology project later this year.
The investment will support maintenance of the General Electric F414 engines that equip Sweden’s new Gripen E fighters and older F404 engines on its Gripen C/D.
Vertical Aerospace has completed initial tethered hover testing of a full-scale demonstrator for its VX4 electric vertical takeoff and landing air taxi.
