The JV, called Advanced Atomization Technologies, will manufacture fuel nozzles for present and future GE Aviation commercial engine platforms, including aerospace and aero-derivative engines and would employ around 300 people.
It will be located in the Parker Gas Turbine Fuel Systems Division facility at Clyde, New York.
GE Aviation Combustor general manager Mike Sims said that Advanced Atomization Technologies would enable both the firms to strengthen existing relationship and offer design, manufacturing and programme management for critical components.
Combining Parker’s fuel nozzle technology with GE Aviation’s TAPS combustion technology is expected to reduce engine emissions, while raising fuel efficiency of the aircraft, which are two crucial elements for improved engine performance.
