Defense collaboration Avio Aero participates in the SHARP program with Safran Helicopter Engines and MTU Aero Engines, supported by the European Defence Fund, signaling a path to co-develop and supply propulsion technologies for next-generation military helicopter engines and related subsystems.

Hybrid propulsion A hybrid-electric technology demonstration program positions Avio Aero to offer integrated propulsion solutions, energy management, and emissions reduction packages to European airlines and defense customers seeking greener, more efficient platforms.

Additive capacity Recent expansions of additive manufacturing facilities in Brindisi and southern Italy extend near-shore capabilities for rapid prototyping, tooling, and on-demand parts, enabling faster quotes, shorter lead times, and resilient supply chains for European OEMs.

European footprint A broad Italian manufacturing base with facilities in Rivalta di Torino, Pomigliano d’Arco and Brindisi, plus operations in Poland and the Czech Republic, supports a regional supply chain, local maintenance-like capabilities, and close collaboration with major aerospace customers.

Space rotorcraft diversification Involvement in Vega space launch propulsion and VRT 500 rotorcraft programs indicates diversification across civil, military, and space sectors, creating cross-sell opportunities for propulsion components, subsystems, and after-sales services.
