Hydraulic Power Generation Service Program
Eaton Corporation's
aerospace business has been awarded a five-year extension by
Continental Airlines to a 10-year cost per flight hour (CPH)
retrofit and maintenance program. Under the CPH program, originally
launched in 2002, Eaton will retrofit hydraulic power generation
equipment currently fitted on Continental's fleet of 364 aircraft
with Eaton Vickers(R) brand engine-driven and electric motor-driven
hydraulic pumps.
Following completion of the retrofit program, Eaton will also
provide maintenance service for the remaining terms of the 15-year
agreement under the new contract. In addition, all future new
aircraft deliveries to Continental will be configured with Eaton
power generation equipment.
Continental's decision
to select Eaton for their aircraft fleet's power generation
equipment reflects the airline's continuing efforts to maintain a
high level of on-time performance and reduce overall operational
costs.
Eaton is a leading supplier of hydraulic, electro-hydraulic pump
and generator products and integrated systems; electric motors;
aircraft flap and slat systems; fluid conveyance products and
systems; nose wheel steering systems; integrated control systems;
cockpit controls; power and load management systems; pressure
sensors and fluid debris monitoring products and systems. Eaton
serves commercial and military aviation, aerospace, military
weapons, marine, and off-road markets worldwide.
