24 Jul 24. The Times Leader on Tempest on Tuesday leaves out one key enabler for the Tempest Project to succeed, the total market for the three participants, the UK, Japan and Italy. These countries alone will never enable the project to become profitable, given that the total number of aircraft required will be less than 1000. This will make an individual airframe price exorbitantly expensive and unaffordable by other potential buyers. The same applies to the European project where an Airbus – Dassault partnership is already wobbling in an area where Dassault routinely takes the lead. From its inception Tempest was a political ‘Post Brexit’ Programme to retain key jobs at the BAE Warton Plant where Typhoon production was ending.
‘The article also does not touch on the fact BAE Systems benefits from its 15% share in the huge and growing F-35 Programme which remain in service long after the 2035 Tempest current In Service Date, which is also in doubt given the complexity of the Programme. In our view, the most likely outcome for Tempest and its partners will be for the technology to be subsumed into the USAF Nextgen fighter, thus giving each country and future partners such as Saudi Arabia, workshare along the current F-35 sales model. The Prime Minister is right not to commit to this project. The latest Tempest full scale model displayed at FIAS is F-111 / F-22 size which takes it into another class of combat aircraft. Is Tempest growing to become more of a Typhoon competitor than an F-35 competitor.
In contrast to the early stage phase of tempest, the F-35 project in UK is as below:
- The F-35 today is already sustaining more jobs in the UK than the Tempest programme is promising, and these high-value jobs will be sustained for decades with a production run of 3,000+ aircraft already secured. It’s a fact, supported by evidence, that 25% of all F-35’s built for the global programme is built in Europe. In addition to customers who have already ordered the jet, in Europe opportunities still exist in Romania, Portugal, Spain and Austria and some operators are considering an increase in fleet size, this does not support statements re capability or operational cost.
- The German MoD has publicly stated that the combination of F-35 (with its already clear future technology insertion programme) and upgraded Eurofighter Typhoon aircraft has it questioning the need for FCAS in the numbers originally anticipated. You could easily read this across to Tempest / GCAP; this would knock a hole in production run ambitions.
- Neither Tornado nor Typhoon have been export successes for the UK, despite many promises during each programme’s earlier years. The programmes did not, as a result, deliver a lengthy, high-volume, production run. We’re hearing the same Tempest message about jobs, exports, and contribution to the economy today on similar ‘jam tomorrow’ basis.

25 Jul 24. South Korea to develop indigenous fighter engine.
Development of the Hanwha fighter engine will take more than ten years, at which time it will “compete with the GE F414” engine powering various aircraft. South Korea’s Hanwha Aerospace has confirmed its intention to shake up the fighter engine market with its own indigenous unit set to power fifth-generation combat aircraft.
Speaking with Airforce Technology at their stand during the Farnborough International Airshow on 24 July 2024, a senior research engineer detailed the efficient edge that Hanwha’s future engine will provide a range of fighter aircraft.
A project estimated to cost $1bn, Hanwha’s engine will offer a 15,000-pound thrust capability and a reduced radar cross section.
Development alone is anticipated to take more than a decade, however the South Korean aerospace supplier is open to collaboration with other companies interested in developing the future engine.
A Hanwha Aerospace spokesperson confirmed talks are ongoing with the French multinational engine manufacturer, Safran, though this has yet to be decided.
Likewise, Hanwha’s future engine will also compete with the ageing EJ200, a fighter engine built by Rolls-Royce, MTU, Avio and ITP in the late 1980s. It currently powers the Eurofighter Typhoon since the platform’s series production began in 2003.
South Korea’s Hanwha engine to power KF-21
The indigenous engine may also come to power South Korea’s indigenous fighter, the KF-21 Boramae as the future platform is converted to its Block III iteration by the mid-2030s.
South Korean industry gained the rights to produce the F414 engine to power the country’s twin-engine jet as the first protoype units were produced over the past year. F414 is a 22,000-pound thrust class engine, a similar thrust to the future engine.
The KF-21 Boramae, a fighter jet, is expected to play a crucial role in South Korea’s defence strategy. The program signifies a significant investment in the nation’s defence sector with a projected contract allocation of $7.8bn over 2023-2033. Each KF-21 unit is estimated to cost approximately $65m.

24 Jul 24. The UK’s leading combat air industry partners reveal that manufacturing and assembly of the main aircraft structure is underway on the country’s first crewed combat air demonstrator for a generation.
BAE Systems, Rolls-Royce, MBDA UK and the UK Ministry of Defence are making significant progress developing a piloted supersonic aircraft to test a range of new technologies, including integration of stealth compatible features, with the aircraft set to fly within the next three years.
The UK Government first announced the flying combat air demonstrator in July 2022, and now more than half of the aircraft’s weight, including the fuselage and wings, is in build. This is thanks to the expertise of the UK’s world-class defence industry, combined with the use of innovative digital techniques and transformative processes, including advanced manufacturing technologies, virtual simulators and digital rigs.
The flying demonstrator is providing invaluable data and lessons to UK industry to support the introduction of a new combat aircraft from 2035 – known as Tempest in the UK.
Paul Wilde, Head of Tempest, BAE Systems, said: “The flying technology demonstrator is a vital initiative for developing national skills and advanced technology, ensuring the UK remains a world leader in the design, production, test and certification of combat aircraft. Partnering with around 100 UK suppliers, including our Team Tempest partners, we’re combining engineering expertise with innovative methods to enhance and refresh crucial industrial skills which is so important as we get ready to deliver the Tempest programme.
“The demonstrator is a ground-breaking initiative which will showcase the best of British engineering, supporting apprentices and graduates who learn from our best engineers, keeping the UK at the forefront of defence and aerospace.”
Air Commodore Martin Lowe, Future Combat Air Systems Programme Director for UK Ministry of Defence, said: “The demonstrator is helping us understand more about the advanced technology that is required to deliver a sixth-generation fighter jet. The progress we have made together – MOD and industry – in such a short space of time has been remarkable. A large part of this is down to a new generation of engineering specialists who are using innovative manufacturing solutions to deliver this demonstrator aircraft.”
Experts from BAE Systems are using additive manufacturing processes and technologies, including 3D printing, to develop significant structural parts of the aircraft in less time and at reduced cost. The use of Hot Isostatic Press (HIP) technology, which uses extreme heat and pressure to create a solid metal part in any required shape, reduces the time needed to manufacture parts and creates less material waste.
In Warton, Lancashire, test pilots from BAE Systems, Rolls-Royce and the Royal Air Force (RAF) have now flown more than 215 hours of the demonstrator aircraft in a bespoke simulator, providing crucial evidence to support the design of the aircraft and subsequent flight trials years before its first flight, enabling test pilots to become familiar with flying the aircraft.
BAE Systems’ engineers are also using a range of digital simulators and rigs to test cockpit conditions such as heating, cooling and oxygen supply for a pilot without having to use a physical environmental rig.
MBDA is working with BAE Systems to trial digital weapon integration processes for the demonstrator. The aim of these digital techniques is to prove, through test and evaluation, that they will reduce the time and cost for weapons integration. This collaborative approach at this early stage of the programme is already showing potential benefits.
Rolls-Royce is set to deliver two EJ200 engines for installation into the flying demonstrator aircraft following integration testing last year. The engines, donated by the UK Ministry of Defence, will be delivered to BAE Systems in the next 12 months as this collaborative programme continues to make good progress.
This range of novel technologies will demonstrate and test key elements of the next generation combat air design as well as skills, tools, processes and techniques needed to develop Tempest, which will be delivered through the Global Combat Air Programme, with the UK, Italy and Japan.

19 Jul 24. Defense Innovation Delivering Critical Capabilities to Warfighters at Speed and Scale. The Defense Innovation Unit, which stood up in 2015, has proven that it can help solve military problems with commercial technology and make a difference on the battlefield, said, Doug Beck, director of DIU and senior advisor to the defense secretary.
The focus now at DIU is to deliver to the warfighter those most critical solutions at speed and scale to achieve true strategic effect, said Beck, who spoke at the Aspen Security Forum.
To get a firsthand understanding of the warfighters’ needs, DIU personnel are embedding with the geographic combatant commands, U.S. Indo-Pacom Command and U.S. European Command, he said, noting that the Eucom team is helping to bring innovative capability to Ukraine.
To be successful, DIU is also partnering with the department’s true engines of scale — the services — as well as with the critical scaling partners in the Joint Staff and the Office of the Secretary of Defense entities like acquisition, sustainment, research and engineering to transition and integrate capabilities in order to have a material impact on the most pivotal operational plans, the director said, noting that DIU is also increasingly partnering with the international community.
To ensure coordination, synergy and communication among the many innovation hubs across the department, DIU is leading the defense innovation community of entities, he said, adding that the group also seeks ways to knock down barriers that get in the way of bringing in new capabilities, systems and industry partners.
One of the barriers to tackle has to do with culture, such as risk aversion, Beck said. “That takes time to change, and the way you change it is with success.”
Success, he said, is working with the best companies to bring their novel approaches to speed and scale, citing an early example of DIU successfully prototyping and delivering an effective counter-unmanned aerial system to U.S. Special Operations Command which has since adopted that capability at scale. DIU continues to discover C-UAS technology for the department.
Another key to driving meaningful change, is building commercial-fluent contracting officers and dual-fluency talent across the workforce. Today, DIU partners with the Defense Acquisition University to facilitate a competitive, immersive fellowship program to educate and provide top DOD contracting officers with experience on how to effectively acquire emerging commercial technologies from nontraditional companies.
Congress has provided DIU much more flexibility in the way it uses funding that will allow it to not only help companies develop prototypes, but also help with initial fielding of new technologies.
DIU headquarters is located in Mountain View, California, with satellite offices in Austin, Texas; Boston; Chicago and Washington. DIU has undertaken an effort to optimize its regional presence, outreach and programming to further strengthen its integration into the national security innovation base. This includes defense innovation on-ramp hubs that are located in Ohio, Washington state, Hawaii, Arizona and Kansas to access the best technology and talent from around the country, Beck said.

21 Jul 24. GE Aerospace (NYSE: GE) and the U.S. Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory have reached a new Cooperative Research & Development Agreement (CRADA) on supercomputing, expanding the company’s capabilities to design next-generation aircraft engine technologies like Open Fan.
With the agreement, announced today at Farnborough International Airshow, GE Aerospace and Oak Ridge will collaborate to develop new, state-of-the-art computational modeling and simulation capabilities. Oak Ridge’s expertise will help GE Aerospace better manage large simulations, more efficiently extract information, incorporate cutting-edge Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools to improve understanding of results, and streamline the process to visualize the physics.
“Supercomputing and access to Frontier is changing the way we design jet engines, allowing us to solve previously impossible problems. We’re now able to digitally fly components of an Open Fan at full-scale in a simulated environment before the hardware is built,” said Mohamed Ali, senior vice president of engineering for GE Aerospace.
“Our expanded research collaboration through a new cooperative agreement with Oak Ridge National Laboratory will accelerate our engine design and testing, building confidence that Open Fan architecture is the most promising engine technology to help the aviation industry meet its net zero ambitions,” Ali added.
Oak Ridge National Laboratory is home to Frontier, the world’s fastest supercomputer, capable of crunching data at exascale speed, or more than a quintillion calculations per second. It is also renowned for its computing expertise.
“We have some of the world’s most accomplished computer and computational scientists. We are proud to bring them to this research and development agreement with GE Aerospace,” said Gina Tourassi, associate laboratory director for computing and computational sciences at Oak Ridge National Laboratory.
To model the aerodynamic and acoustic performance of a full-scale Open Fan engine design, GE Aerospace created computational fluid dynamics software capable of running on Frontier.
After an initial simulation in 2023, GE Aerospace now has run additional simulations of improved designs on Frontier that analyze different engine operating conditions to better understand aerodynamic characteristics and acoustic signatures.
GE Aerospace and Safran Aircraft Engines unveiled in 2021 the CFM Revolutionary Innovation for Sustainable Engines (RISE)* program, which encompasses development of a suite of technologies, including advanced engine architectures like the Open Fan, compact core, and hybrid electric systems to be compatible with 100% Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF). The goal of the RISE Program is to develop technologies that enable a future engine to achieve at least 20% lower fuel consumption and 20% fewer CO2 emissions compared to today’s most efficient commercial engines.
Through the RISE program, CFM International continues to mature the Open Fan engine architecture, which removes the nacelle for greater propulsive efficiency while achieving the same speed and cabin experience commercial aviation passengers can expect from air travel today. GE Aerospace’s use of supercomputing power and software tools are helping engineers understand Open Fan aerodynamic and acoustic physics in new ways. For example, Frontier unlocks the ability to better evaluate new engine technologies at flight scale in the design phase. As a result, GE Aerospace can improve test hardware designs and better optimize engine performance and airframe integration.
GE Aerospace plans to hire more than 900 engineers in 2024, reflecting its continued focus on innovation to support current aircraft engine programs and develop new technologies for the future of flight. View job openings at invent.ge/engineering.

22 Jul 24. Next-generation US jet fighter program may get hit by budget woes.
- Summary
- Next-gen jet fighter program budget of $28.5bn over five years may be spread out or scaled back
- Cost overruns in other programs force Air Force to reassess spending priorities
- Air Force reconsiders fundamental design elements of next jet
The U.S. Air Force’s ambitious next-generation fighter jet program, envisioned as a revolutionary leap in technology, could become less ambitious as budget pressure, competing priorities and changing goals compel a rethink, defense officials and industry executives said.
Initially conceived as a “family of systems” centered around a sixth-generation fighter jet, the Next Generation Air Dominance (NGAD) program is meant to replace the F-22 Raptor and give the United States the most powerful weaponry in the sky well into the mid-21st century.
When it was first proposed, expectations were high, including an unmatched stealth capability to keep it invisible from even the most sophisticated radar, laser weapons and onboard artificial intelligence to process masses of data coming from the latest in sensor technology.
However, sources said the current development budget of $28.5bn over five years ending in 2029 could be spread out over more time or scaled-back as the Pentagon searches for a cost-effective solution.
Sources briefed on the Air Force’s internal budget deliberations said the anticipated 2026 fiscal-year NGAD budget of $3.1bn would be slashed as funding shrinks, with one source adding that diminishing funds could stretch development by two more years.
While it is unclear how much the overall program will cost, it could eventually total well over $100bn if 200 aircraft are produced, including initial costs – plus maintenance and upgrades over time. There are currently 185 F-22s in service – the plane NGAD is meant to replace.
The Air Force is also reviewing the concept for the jet – perhaps moving to a larger single-engine jet, from what is believed to be a two-engine design, or even shifting more funding to a less expensive unmanned drone to best address future air superiority needs given the potential budget cuts, industry experts said.
“NGAD was conceived before a number of things: before the threat became so severe, before CCAs (drone program) were introduced into the equation and before we had some issues with affordability that we are currently facing,” Air Force Secretary Frank Kendall said on Saturday at Britain’s Royal International Air Tattoo, the world’s largest military air show.
“Before we commit to the 2026 budget, we want to be sure we are on the right path,” he added on a program that will be a popular talking point at the Farnborough International Airshow this week.
The shift in focus comes as the Air Force grapples with substantial cost overruns in several vital, and expensive, programs. For example, its Sentinel intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) program, which is set to replace the aging Minuteman III missiles, has ballooned 81% over budget, to around $141bn.
Budget pressure has forced the Air Force to reassess its spending priorities across various modernization efforts which also include increasing production of the new B-21 bomber made by Northrop Grumman (NOC.N).
U.S. aerospace and defense companies Lockheed Martin (LMT.N) and Boeing (BA.N) have responded to the Air Force’s request for proposal for the NGAD system, sources told Reuters.
While defense firms are not exactly desperate for orders with conflicts in Ukraine and Israel driving already-strong demand, NGAD was one of several potentially giant programs many hoped would feed the bottom line in the years ahead.
An Air Force spokesperson told Reuters the department is currently building its fiscal 2026 budget which will be released early next year. Representatives for Boeing did not return requests for comment. Lockheed would not comment on NGAD.
“The part that seems to be getting stalled and re-evaluated is the air vehicle itself, the central platform,” said J.J. Gertler, a senior analyst at aerospace and defense analysis firm the Teal Group.
“The Air Force is now making sure that that’s what they actually want and possibly changing their mind,” he added.
Possible new configurations might be shifting to a single engine for the jet to save on up-front cost and long-term maintenance. Twin-engine jets are much more expensive to buy and operate, but they are more dependable and faster, therefore more deadly in a dogfight than their single-engine foes.
Another key component emerging from this restructuring is the possibility of shifting funds toward the unmanned fighter drone known as the Collaborative Combat Aircraft initiative.
Development of the less expensive drone platforms, designed to operate alongside the main jet, does not face budget changes. (Source: Reuters)
