Propulsion system for next generation rotorcrafts

Funds early design work on a new high-power European turboshaft engine for the next generation of military rotorcraft.

This is a single-stage EDF Research Action with an indicative 2025 budget of EUR 25,000,000 for this topic. Work is conception and pre-design of an alternative propulsion system, not a flight-ready engine. Applications go through the EU Funding & Tenders Portal; country eligibility and financial checks are in the call document.
