GKN Aerospace is seeking certification for a new ... In what it claims was a world first, GKN in late 2023 began making fan case mount rings (FCMR) for PW1500G engines using additive technology.

Not only does the fan case structure have to withstand the blade impact, but it must also retain its structural integrity while the engine is shutting down. After an engine loses a blade, the loads on ...

The design allows for a larger fan size without as much drag as it would have with the casing, making the engines more fuel-efficient. GE Aerospace said it would be impossible to replicate the ...
