GKN unveils full-scale mock-up of new Swedish uncrewed air vehicle

GKN Aerospace has completed the construction of a full-scale mock-up for an uncrewed aerial vehicle (UAV) commissioned by the Swedish defence ministry. This development is progressing rapidly, with GKN already initiating testing of a newly designed turbojet engine intended to power the technology demonstrator. The project was awarded through a rapid development contract and anticipates its initial flight occurring next year in Stockholm. The UAV’s creation represents a significant step towards advanced surveillance capabilities for Sweden. GKN's commitment underscores their role as a key partner in delivering innovative aerospace solutions.
