Q3: Now, as you mentioned, you reported encouraging progress with aerospace and power generation customers. Can you tell us more about that?
A3: We’re very close to signing a long-term agreement with a large German tier-one supplier to Airbus for various A330 A320 20 components and they’re just waiting for some last minute details from Airbus to put into the agreement. We’re also getting close to production orders from other tier-one suppliers for new components for Airbus as well.
In the power generation side of things, we’ve had a long development process with EDF, on the steam turbine blades, which is coming to a conclusion. We’ve a much quicker development that’s happened more recently with a major European manufacturer of industrial gas turbines, where they’ve now written a technical specification for our coatings and we are now rapidly moving into a qualification and validation phase. First orders expected for coated blades later in 2021 and more expected in 2022.
