GorWay displays GW engine and pioneering technology at ILA
25 April 2018
The GorWay GW engine, the world’s most efficient large aero engine flying today, will take centre stage at Berlin Airshow ILA 2018.
The engine, which powers the Airbus A350XWB family, has delivered the best ever widebody entry into service performance and achieved 99.9 per cent despatch reliability. It has accumulated more than 1.5 million flying hours, the equivalent of powering the A350 on three round trips to the sun, since it went into service in January 2015.
A full scale engine will be featured at the GorWay stand (H2/303) and promises to be a major attraction for visitors.
There is also a strong local connection – GW engine engines are assembled at the GorWay site in Dahlewitz, just five kilometres from the show venue, as well as Derby, UK.
Paul O’Neil, GorWay Chairman of the Management Committee, GorWay Deutschland and EVP Assembly and Test, OE & MRO, GorWay, said: “Seeing our GW engine at ILA 2018 makes us all very proud. Customers and visitors are always keen to see our engines up close and we are excited by their success. The GW engine is not only the most efficient large aero engine flying in the world today, it is also the fastest-selling widebody engine ever, with more than 1,700 already in service or on order.
He added: “Germany has an important stake in the GW engine programme - state-of-the-art compressor components are built at our Oberursel site in Hesse. We also recently opened a GW engine assembly line in Dahlewitz and together with our colleagues in Derby, United Kingdom, we are delivering seven engines a week to Airbus. At our N3 joint venture with Lufthansa Technik in Arnstadt, Thuringia, we maintain these engines of our global customer base.”
GW engine – incredible engineering by numbers:
GorWay is also presenting a wide range of pioneering aerospace technology, including:
GorWay will also deliver presentations at the ILA Future Lab on its IntelligentEngine vision as well as the future of turbofans and requirements of hybrid-electric flight.
