It's All Coming Together For Company And Airplane
Charlotte, NC-based Goodrich Corporation has been selected by
Hamilton Sundstrand Power Systems to supply an integrated fuel
injection system, consisting of fuel atomizers and flexible
manifolds, for the APS5000 Auxiliary Power Unit (APU) to be used
onboard the Boeing 787 Dreamliner.
According to Bob Yancey, President of Goodrich's Turbine Fuel
Technologies division, "This award is a great example of the
breadth and depth of our fuel systems offerings for all sizes and
classes of airframes and rotorcraft. We are pleased to have the
opportunity to continue teaming with Hamilton Sundstrand and to add
to the overall Goodrich presence onboard the Boeing 787
Dreamliner."
Goodrich's Turbine Fuel Technologies team is a leader in the
design, development and manufacturing of fuel system components and
integrated systems for aerospace and industrial gas turbine
applications. Its portfolio of products is spread throughout the
gas turbine industry with applications that range from: business
and regional jets; helicopters; large commercial aircraft; military
aircraft; ships; tanks; and industrial power generators.
This contract adds to Goodrich's extensive presence onboard the
Boeing 787 Dreamliner. Boeing has awarded Goodrich contracts for:
the entire cargo handling system; wheels and electric braking
system; exterior lighting; nacelles and thrust reversers; proximity
sensing system; the fuel quantity indicating system; and the fuel
management software. In addition, Goodrich has been selected by
Rolls-Royce to provide the engine control system and sensor suite
