RE:PYR response to statement confirms how huge NexGen will beGE ..yes the same guys who make things called jet engines that they supply to both airbus and Boeing produce over 1000 tons a year of titanium powder...Yes 1000 tons ...and using peters famous "inside the fence ' line...good luck getting any aviation company to switch . They care about milspec and faa approvals and aren't switching for any price advantage. The approvals alone cost tens of millions. One failed turbine can cost billions if they prang.
Raytheon produces their own , I believe Pratt does too . Pyr told the story of jet engine manufacturers in 2016 and 2017. That ship has sailed.
Since 7 Years ago production was 9 months away. they say 5 or 6 months now so I presume its 2 years a month based on history.
There is several very big players in the titanium powder game. Might as well start a cola company to take out coke and Pepsi.
