GKN Aerospace delivers first high-voltage EWIS for SWITCH project

GKN Aerospace has successfully completed and delivered the first high-voltage electrical wiring interconnection system (EWIS) for the Clean Aviation SWITCH project. Developed at GKN Aerospace's site in Papendrecht, the Netherlands, the EWIS is designed to support megawatt-class hybrid-electric propulsion and will undergo system integration testing later this year at Collins Aerospace's advanced electric power systems facility, The Grid, in Rockford, Illinois. It will subsequently support hybrid-electric Pratt & Whitney GTF
