An ever-growing european r&d network

A distinctive element in our approach to research has always been combining our awareness of market needs and technology excellence with the deep knowledge and talents of leading Universities and Research Centers as well as with the dynamic approach of innovative Small and Medium Enterprises.

 

Over the years, thanks to fast growing collaborations in the field of research and development, we have created the  European Technology Development Cluster (E-TDC), an innovation network with specific targets, skills and specializations able to address the complex challenges of the future of flight.

This is how the E-TDC became our advanced model of collaboration gathering the most prestigious R&D institutions and SMEs, and the European affiliates of GE Aerospace.

The E-TDC is a dynamic open network driven by a common mindset devoted to technology and innovation, structured and organized around key disciplines and objectives, regulated through straightforward conditions and processes, supported in its activities by cutting-edge experimental facilities and tools.

To date, the E-TDC are organized into 10 clusters focused on key aircraft propulsion challenges:
