Official speaking at #DSEI2025 today confirmed that the GCAP programme is presently closed to additional partners, though later manufacturing opportunities for customers beyond Italy, Japan, and the UK "are conceivable".
​​​​​​​It emerged at #DSEI2025 today that alongside the UK's Excalibur Flying Test Aircraft (pic), GCAP partners Italy and Japan will develop their own FTAs to function alongside.

Italy now looking at a Gulfstream Aero, while Japan steering towards a 'transport-sized' aircraft solution.
