GKN Aerospace is innovating to support a new generation of aircraft producing no emissions at all.
Enabling zero emissions flight
We are putting sustainability at the heart of our business, both in the way we operate and the technology we develop. We know the biggest impact we can make is by developing solutions which reduce in-flight emissions, contributing towards the industry goal of net zero 2050.
Pushing the boundaries with sustainable technologies
New electric aircraft at the smaller end all the way up to hydrogen-electric propulsion and ultimately hydrogen combustion. All of those ingredients are going to play a role on the path to net zero aviation.
Our technology and solutions
Hydrogen technologies
We are not just witnessing the dawn of a new aerospace era focused on zero-emission flight, at GKN Aerospace we are making it a reality.
We know that no single system or technology will deliver the level of change required to achieve and ultimately surpass global emissions targets. This is why we are working with airports, airlines, aircraft OEMs, academia and supply chain partners to research and develop a suite of bold, game-changing technologies.
