Pietro Rosa TBM signed an LTA with GKN Aerospace the world leading Tier 1 Supplier for the production of titanium forged and machined engine mounts. These critical components are fitted to the revolutionary Pratt and Whitney PW1500 Geared Turbofan engine (GTF) that powers the Airbus A220 aircraft.
The large engine mounts are an excellent example of collaborative design for manufacture between GKN Aerospace and Pietro Rosa TBM, delivering a highly cost-effective solution to produce such a critical component, ensuring the safe transmission of loads between the engine and the aircraft structure.
The cutting-edge technology within these impressive engines has rendered improved fuel efficiency, reduced emissions and reduced noise footprint and thus the whole PW GTF family has come to power the most successful aircraft platforms currently on the market.
Pietro Rosa TBM is proud to exploit the advanced forging and machining cells developed through dedicated development programs in the last years, which allowed a seamless integration in this very demanding market.
