Olivier Andries, Safran chief executive, says a three-way agreement with MTU Aero Engines and ITP Aero covering the development of a next-generation military powerplant has been reached with “no compromises at all”.
The pact, revealed on 29 April, details the workshare arrangement between the parties for the engine that will power the Next-Generation Fighter (NGF) to be operated from the 2040s by France, Germany and Spain.
