Price Induction, a French startup company based in Anglet in the southwest of the country, is here exhibiting two engine mockups (Hall 3 Stand A25). The first is its new 570-pound-thrust DGEN 380 turbofan engine and the other is its Taor contrafan concept. Company executives claim to have raised enough funds to complete the DGEN certification program.

The DGEN 380’s core engine is undergoing a new series of ground tests in nearby Tarnos. “We will be focusing is on improving internal aerodynamics until July or August,” deputy manager Romain Cassan told AIN. He also explained that the engine undergoing testing is assembled in such a way as to make manufacturing easier and to decrease vibrations. A full-authority digital engine control is part of the trials, too.
