First upgraded RM12 engine delivered
Citat:GKN Aerospace has successfully delivered the first upgraded RM12 engine to its customer, the Swedish Armed Forces, marking a key milestone in the ongoing RM12EP (Enhanced Performance) programme. The delivery follows an earlier order from the Swedish Armed Forces valued at approximately £32 million (SEK 400 million) for performance upgrades across the Gripen C/D engine fleet.
The RM12EP upgrade includes the installation of improved turbine hardware and updated engine control software, designed to increase engine thrust, extend operating time and reduce lifecycle costs. All work is carried out at GKN Aerospace’s facility in Trollhättan, Sweden, where the company is responsible for the development, manufacture, system support and maintenance of both the RM12 engine powering the Gripen C/D and the RM16 powering the new Gripen E/F.
