Business Wire
Unison Industries announced that it has been selected by Textron
Aviation, a Textron Inc (NYSE: TXT) company, to provide additively
manufactured air-air heat exchangers for the new Cessna Denali high
performance single engine turboprop. With a maximum occupancy of
11, the clean sheet Denali single engine turboprop will be powered
by GE Aviation’s Advanced Turboprop Engine and is targeted to
achieve first flight in 2018.
Unison’s additive air-air heat exchanger is an industry first,
and is part of GE’s $1 billion investment and commitment to the
advancement of additive manufacturing. Unison’s additive air-air
heat exchanger increases reliability through elimination of braze
joints, offers reduced weight and volume, and the ability to be
manufactured conformal to the application so all angles are
rendered with true shape.
“Being awarded this contract for the Cessna Denali reflects the
confidence Textron Aviation places in Unison’s additive technology
and capability and the benefits it will bring to the Denali
customers,” said Giovanni Spitale, president of Unison Industries.
“The air-air heat exchanger is just the beginning – we are
investing heavily in additive technology. We have other heat
exchangers that form the foundation of our new additive product
family and continue the advancement of our additive product line
for the aviation industry.”
