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.

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.

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.

We are today involved in a number of industrial gas turbine, where we design and make parts and provide overhaul and repair services.

We've been pioneering the use of Additive Manufacturing for over a decade. Our innovative material solutions involve a process called fabrication, which is like slicing a cake into smaller pieces and then putting them back together in a new shape. This method allows us to transform large and complex geometries into high-performance parts. These efforts are all part of our commitment to making the aviation industry more efficient, which benefits both our business and the environment.
