BIRMINGHAM, England—GKN Aerospace recently completed the first high-voltage electrical wiring interconnection system for the European Union’s Clean Aviation SWITCH project.
The electric aircraft market is still in its infancy, but that hasn't stopped an ambitious group of innovators from developing a leaner, greener future of flight.
