Will Be Incorporated On S/N 004
Mecaer America Inc. was recently selected by Diamond Aircraft to
provide the landing gear system for the series production of the
D-Jet. Mecaer America's scope of work includes design,
certification testing, manufacturing and after-sale support of the
nose and main landing gear.
"We are very pleased to announce our long-term agreement with
Diamond Aircraft on the D-Jet program," Armando Sassoli, Mecaer
America President and CEO said. "This is a very important step in
Mecaer's quest to become the world's leading landing gear company
in the light aircraft market niche."
"Diamond Aircraft's expertise in composite materials is
impressive and we believe the D-Jet has great potential," said
Giorgio Cozzolino, Mecaer America Director of Engineering. "Our
objective is to deliver a state-of-art landing gear system with
particular attention to environmental, technological and
operational efficiencies."
"The D-Jet is specifically designed for easy transition from
high performance singles, twins, and turboprops and extends the
comfort, speed, and confidence of Jet travel to more people in an
affordable aircraft," said Peter Maurer, President of Diamond
Aircraft. "Mecaer's trailing link landing gear system for the D-Jet
supports our simple systems design goal by providing all-electric,
lightweight, and very reliable systems resulting in trouble-free
operation for our D-Jet customers."
The first D-Jet planned to be equipped with Mecaer landing gear
is serial number 004, which is scheduled to be completed this
fall.
