Avio Aero
Introducing our Research Network for the “European Technologies Development Clusters”
Avio Aero designs, manufactures and maintains propulsion systems for civil and military aviation. It is the center of excellence for the entire General Electric group in the field of mechanical transmissions, low-pressure turbines and additive manufacturing: founded in 1908, the company has overcome many technological challenges in over a century of history.
Continuous investments in research and development, and its established network of relationships with leading universities and international research centers, have enabled Avio Aero to develop technological and manufacturing excellence recognized across the globe: on the occasion of the ILA Berlin, Avio Aero is glad to introduce a further empowerment and a recent expansion of the network for the “European Technologies Development Clusters”.
The technology maturation performed within MAESTRO generated many breakthrough solutions, also leveraging disruptive manufacturing processes like additive manufacturing. Such solutions have been proven to provide excellent engine performances and environmental benefit: 9% CO2, 24% NOx and 10dB noise reduction, above the initial Clean Sky program targets. Therefore, it has been natural to implement the majority of them within the first GE European turboprop engine, the Catalyst, to leverage their benefits since the very first chance.
Avio Aero and its Additive (R)evolution for aeronautical manufacturing and service.
Avio Aero and Clean Sky long standing partnership for a greener aviation, towards the commitment to the ambitious European Partnership for Clean Aviation.
The MAESTRO project
Disruptive technologies developed for sustainable turboprop engines.
Avio Aero and the MAESTRO project
Ron Van Manen, from Clean Sky 2 – Joint Undertaking, introduces the MAESTRO project live from the 2017 Paris Air Show. Born for the small aircraft for private-small aircraft sector, MAESTRO is aimed at improving fuel consumption, noise emissions and the cost of the future product.
MAESTRO's lesson goes on
The Clean Sky 2 conference last May 2019 in Brussels has been a great moment to discuss about the MAESTRO project results and updates, as well as to showcase how additive manufacturing technologies are crucial to it.
Spanish Tech Leader, European engine
The Catalyst is a role model, a pan-European product with state-of-the-art technology and performance, an exciting challenge and a highly valuable experience for the European.
The future of flight
Innovative engine architectures and aircraft configurations, Electrification, Helicopters and Urban Mobility.
Avio Aero and Clean Sky2, IRON project at #PAS2019
IRON is one of the most important decarbonization projects destined to change the future of the aviation industry throughout a new configuration featuring hybrid propulsion, in collaboration with Leonardo and with tech contribution by GE Aviation and Dowty Propellers.
Electricity is in the air
The commitment to environmental impact reduction - long since, a firm commitment for Avio Aero - bolstered by the European Green Deal and exemplified in the latest project for cleaner and quieter flights: our contribution to IMOTHEP project.
The RACER: interview @David Alfano #PAS19
Not just a helicopter, not even an airplane: RACER (Rapid And Cost-Effective Rotorcraft) is a technology demonstrator by Airbus Helicopters and a flagship project for Clean Sky 2.
