Will Develop Parts For All Engine Options
The plan for Airbus' upcoming
A350XWB is starting to come together... with Goodrich Corporation
announcing Tuesday it will provide Airbus with nacelle and thrust
reverser systems for all variants of the recently launched
aircraft. The contract is expected to generate approximately $10
billion in original equipment and aftermarket revenues for Goodrich
over 20 years.
The contract includes the integration of the Goodrich technology
with each engine manufacturer's offering/option. Therefore,
Goodrich will ultimately be providing Airbus with complete
propulsion systems ready to be installed on the A350 XWB final
assembly line.
"We're proud to be the first large equipment integrator that
Airbus has selected as part of its team for this exciting new
aircraft. Their choice of our technology for this high profile
platform is a testament to our long-standing relationship with
Airbus," said Curtis Reusser, President of Goodrich's
Aerostructures division.
"Together our team with Airbus has been focusing on leveraging
new technology and manufacturing processes with a primary objective
of delivering product maturity at entry into service as well as the
potential for the development of a nacelle and thrust reverser
system that is truly integrated with the aircraft and engine," he
added.
As Aero-News reported, the
board at Airbus parent company EADS signed off on the development
of the A350XWB late last year.
Goodrich Corporation is a global supplier of systems and
services to aerospace, defense and homeland security markets.
