Engines
We strive to be the most trusted partner in the sky. This means supporting our customers in delivering safe and sustainable propulsion solutions. Our innovative engine system solutions offer significant improvements in performance and fuel consumption.
Civil Engines
We are a leading Tier One provider of high performance structural and rotating engine components. Based on our diverse range of capabilities and close partnerships with major aero-engine OEM’s, we lead the industry in fabrication of advanced engine structures, cases and frames. We provide tailored repair and overhaul services, supporting our customers around the world, and also offer electric wiring solutions for propulsion systems.
Defence Engines
We are responsible for the availability and airworthiness of the RM12 engine powering the Gripen C/D fighter. That includes design, development, manufacture, assembly, certification, maintenance, repair, overhaul and technical product support. We work closely with our customers to ensure low cost operation and flight safety. We also provide components for a wide range of military fighter engines, such as the F100, F135, F404 & F414 for example.
Launcher Engines
Since the beginning, we have participated in the European Ariane launcher program with the production of the thrust chambers for the Viking and Vulcain rocket engines. Today GKN Aerospace’s involvement is continuing through fuel pump and exhaust nozzle development for the Vulcain 2.1 engine, powering the new generation Ariane 6 rocket.
Industrial Gas Turbines
We are today involved in a number of industrial gas turbine, where we design and make parts and provide overhaul and repair services.
Solutions and MRO
GKN Aerospace develops, builds and supplies an extensive range of advanced aerospace systems, components and technologies – for use in aircraft ranging from business jets, helicopters and military aircraft to the most used single aisles and the largest passenger planes in the world.
Products and capabilities
GKN Aerospace continues to invest a significant proportion of its R&D spend each year on enhancing fuel efficiency and reducing emissions within aircraft.
We are engaged in the design, development, certification, manufacture and assembly of metal and composite fan containment casings as well as fan structures for civil and military aero engines. We are industrializing large-scale additive manufacturing solutions for advanced engine structures.
We are responsible for the rocket engine fuel pumps for the Arianne space program. We manufacture fuel pump turbines, fan blades, discs, shafts, etc. Our manufacturing capabilities include key technologies like forging, machining, assembly and balancing of critical components.
We design and manufacture turbine structures and rocket nozzles using unique fabrication solutions to balance weight and temperature requirements. We also use our unique machining capability to manufacture turbine cases.
We design and manufacture highly integrated core structures with optimized performance using light-weight fabrication and short duct solutions. We manufacture compressor rotors, blades and vanes using high speed 5-axis machining.
We are responsible for the availability and airworthiness of military engine systems. This includes design, development, manufacture, assembly, certification, maintenance, repair, overhaul and technical product support.
Minimizing downtime is vital for every operator of aircraft engines and industrial gas turbines. We tailor our repair and overhaul solutions to fit specific operational needs in close cooperation with our customers around the world.
