injection system, consisting of fuel atomizers and flexible

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
