New Identity For New Engine Nacelle Joint Venture
"Nexcelle" has been chosen as the
name for the innovative joint venture company created by GE’s
Middle River Aircraft Systems (MRAS) and the Safran group’s
Aircelle company to develop engine nacelles for next-generation
integrated propulsion systems.
This identity underscores the joint venture’s cutting-edge
approach to designing, manufacturing and supporting nacelles for
new aircraft propulsion systems that will be more operationally
efficient, cost-effective and aerodynamically optimized.
Nexcelle will develop its nacelle products for engine
applications of CFM International, a 50/50 joint company between
Snecma of the Safran group and General Electric Company. CFM
International is recognized as one of the aviation industry’s
most successful joint ventures, having delivered 20,000 aircraft
engines during its 35-year history.
“Through Nexcelle’s partnership with CFM
International, we’re creating a new way of doing business by
evolving advanced propulsion systems that are truly integrated from
the engine, nacelle, pylon and wing interface point of view,”
said Nexcelle President Steve Walters. “This process will
benefit from a seamless approach that is unique to the aviation
industry, as Nexcelle has modeled its operating practices,
collaborative tools and business processes directly on those of CFM
International and our shared parent companies.”
Nexcelle’s responsibility covers complete nacelles and
nacelle subsystems for CFM International engines in applications on
both new and existing aircraft.
