Techspace Aero (Hall 2a Stand A228/A252, Hall 2b Stand G32) is here exhibiting the low-pressure compressor (booster) of a GEnx engine. The Milmort, Belgium-based Safran subsidiary is specializing in these modules of turbofans and is preparing technologies for lighter, speedier boosters. It is simultaneously gearing up for a massive production ramp-up.
