The Nexcelle joint venture between Safran and GE Aviation marked a first with the shipping of its first major production component for the next generation for GE Aviation’s Passport business jet engine. The Nexcelle air inlet component is the first element to be completed at the GE Composites factory in Ellisville, Miss. The Mississippi plant transported the air inlet to GE Aviation's Peebles Test Operation facility in Ohio, where it will be integrated with a Passport engine for propulsion system icing tests in Canada.
