The process of the new generation jet aircraft project is progressing. Airbus made a statement about the ongoing activities.
The FCAS Program, launched by France and Germany in cooperation with Airbus-Dassault Aviation, started the demonstrator phase. Within the scope of the process called Phase 1A, important technological maturation processes will take place. Within the scope of the project where MTU Aero Engines, Safran and MBDA serve as the main subcontractors, the demonstration phase will take 18 months. Following the determination of the necessary resources and reserves, studies will be carried out to increase the capability and the necessary technological infrastructure will be prepared.
