Safran, UVAD Technologies spool up engine pact for Falcon supersonic target

Safran Power Units will supply turbojet engines to UVAD Technologies’ Mach 1.6 Falcon design, marking a key step in the development of this supersonic aerial target. The partnership was unveiled at the Euronaval exhibition in Paris earlier this month and focuses on providing propulsion systems for the innovative aircraft. Flight testing is currently slated to commence during 2027, according to both companies involved. The twin-engined Falcon represents an affordable solution within the aerial target market. This collaboration between Safran and UVAD Technologies aims to deliver a technologically advanced platform ready for operational use.
