Karsten Warholm is a legendary Norwegian sprinter and hurdler, best known for winning gold in the 400m hurdles at the Tokyo 2020 Olympics—shattering the world record with a time of 45.94 seconds. He also boasts multiple World and European Championship titles, with his most recent victory in 2024. In both sports and aerospace, the margins between success and failure are razor-thin. Precision is everything—whether it’s milliseconds on the track or micrometers in advanced engineering. Watch how GKN Aerospace Norway AS and Karsten Warholm push the boundaries of innovation and performance. GKN Aerospace × Karsten Warholm Defining Precision. Pushing Limits. Perfecting Details. #GKNAerospace #GKNAerospaceNorway #MakingThingsFly #AdditiveManufacturing #MaterialSolutions

Thank you CompositesWorld for featuring the collaborative GKN Aerospace-led ASCEND programme, in a fantastic article! The programme brought together 16 partners from the UK's composites supply chain. At GKN Aerospace, we believe in the power of partnership and innovation. Read how ASCEND is Transforming High-Rate Composite Manufacturing! #automotive #aerospace #composites #partnership
What started as a conversation between GKN Aerospace and McLaren Automotive Ltd in 2019 sparked what would become one of the U.K.’s most ambitious cross-sector composites manufacturing initiatives. The discussion centered on a striking observation: McLaren’s Sheffield-based Composites Technology Centre was developing highly automated manufacturing processes that, while considered “low-rate” by automotive standards, represented high-rate production in the world of composites. This realization led to a compelling question: Could aerospace and automotive sectors learn from each other to accelerate composites manufacturing to new levels?

It's #ThrowbackThursday and we're throwing it back to a year ago, on March 19, 2024, when we took a major step forward in our long-standing partnership with Safran Aircraft Engines by signing a decade-long agreement to expand our support for LEAP engines, covering: - New shafts and spare parts for the LEAP-1A (Airbus A320neo) - Expected component production planned for LEAP-1B (Boeing 737 MAX) - New shaft production ramping up at our Kongsberg, Norway facility This milestone builds on our 35+ years of collaboration with Safran, spanning industry-leading engines like the CFM56, GE90, and next-gen RISE technology development. With over 5,000 LEAP engines in service and 10,000 more on order, we’re proud to contribute and drive innovation for the future of flight. #GKNAerospace #AeroEngines #Safran #LEAP #Aerospace #Partnership #Aviation #TBT

It’s Global Recycling Day! #DYK that at GKN Aerospace's Global Technology Centre in #Hoogeveen (the Netherlands), we’re pioneering advanced thermoplastic composite technology? Our advanced thermoplastics components are highly recyclable, reduce aircraft weight, and lower fuel consumption—driving a more sustainable aerospace industry. In the award-winning Airbus-led Clean Aviation MFFD (Multi Functional Fuselage Demonstrator) project, we partnered with Delft University of Technology, NLR - Netherlands Aerospace Centre, and SAM XL. Together, we manufactured the thermoplastic lower half of the MFFD, showcasing next-generation recyclable thermoplastic fuselage technology. #GlobalRecyclingDay #SustainableAerospace #Innovation
