A&M EDM Supports GKN Aerospace's H2GEAR Liquid-Hydrogen Propulsion System Development
A&M EDM, a West Midlands engineering subcontractor, collaborates with GKN Aerospace on the H2GEAR programme, aimed at developing a liquid-hydrogen propulsion system for zero-emission flight. A&M EDM manufactured precision cryogenic motor casings for GKN's concept demonstrator, contributing to cleaner aviation initiatives. The £54 million project is supported by £27 million from the UK Aerospace Technology Institute.

A&M EDM has partnered with GKN Aerospace on the H2GEAR programme to advance liquid-hydrogen propulsion systems for sub-regional aircraft. The initiative aims to create a system powered by cryogenic liquid hydrogen, with only water vapour emissions.
A&M EDM produced precision-engineered outer casing segments for GKN's cryogenically cooled electric motor demonstrator, meeting strict tolerances for high-vacuum applications. The £54 million project is partially funded by the UK Aerospace Technology Institute, with GKN matching funds through industry and academic collaborations.
