ASIM, Jul 21
At the Farnborough International Airshow, Ohio Governor Mike DeWine, JobsOhio, and Beehive Industries announced a major expansion in Southwest Ohio to accelerate the production of 3D-printed jet engines for uncrewed aerial defense systems.
The $70 million investment will create over 200 advanced manufacturing jobs and bolster the U.S. defense industrial base by significantly shortening propulsion development timelines.
🔑 Key Takeaways:
- Target Propulsion: Scaling production of the Frenzyâ„¢ engine family, backed by a $29.7M U.S. Air Force contract.
- Massive Scalability: Infrastructure being built to supply more than 8,000 engines annually for military UAV and defense applications.
- Additive Manufacturing Breakthrough: Utilizing the largest single order of EOS metal printers to compress engine production cycles from years to months.
“This investment puts our state at the forefront of building the engines our military needs, and we’ll be doing it faster than anyone thought possible.”
— Mike DeWine, Governor of Ohio.
