Major Systems Set For Large Business Jets
Bombardier Aerospace today revealed more information about the
selection of seven suppliers on major packages on its new Global
7000 and Global 8000 jets, and you'd hardly call them the seven
dwarves. Rockwell Collins, Parker Aerospace, Messier-Bugatti-Dowty,
Liebherr-Aerospace, Meggitt Aircraft Braking Systems, Apparatebau
Gauting GmbH and Arrowhead Products have all joined the
program.
The awarding of these contracts to renowned aerospace companies,
who will design and manufacture key systems, is an important
milestone in the program.
Rockwell Collins has been selected for the avionics system and
primary flight control computer; Parker Aerospace, the hydraulics
system and fly-by-wire flight control technology;
Messier-Bugatti-Dowty, the main and nose landing gear system;
Meggitt Aircraft Braking Systems (MABS), the wheels and braking
system; Liebherr-Aerospace, the air management system; Apparatebau
Gauting GmbH, the water and waste system; and Arrowhead Products,
the ducting system.
"When developing new aircraft, Bombardier aims to bring together
the industry's top talent to design and manufacture jets that
feature advanced technology with the flexibility to incorporate
future innovation. We are delighted to welcome this group of
high-quality suppliers to join us in developing what will be the
industry's most exciting new business jets since the original
Global Express aircraft," said Steve Ridolfi, President, Bombardier
Business Aircraft. "The new Global 7000 and Global 8000 jets have
experienced tremendous market response, and we are very pleased
that the program is moving forward rapidly and on schedule."
"The Global 7000 and Global 8000 aircraft are stellar examples
of the best our industry has to offer in every sense," said Janice
Davis, Vice President and Chief Procurement Officer, Bombardier
Aerospace. "We will work closely with this group of leading global
suppliers that are aligned with our vision and share the same
passion for performance and flawless execution. Together we will
ensure the future success of this great platform."
