Air Industries Group, a leading manufacturer of precision assemblies and components for large aerospace and defense prime contractors, today announced it has received a $2.4 million order for spare landing gear assemblies to be used on the E-2C Hawkeye.

Mr. Lou Melluzzo, CEO of Air Industries, commented: “This award underscores the significance of our capabilities in providing aftermarket support, and fostering relationships with our valued customers. The considerable momentum that we generated in 2023 is continuing in 2024, and we remain encouraged by the high demand for our products and services. The E-2C/D Hawkeye program represents just one among Air's product lines deployed in mission-critical operations.”

Deliveries for these landing gear are expected to occur in 2026 through 2027.

Air Industries supports the E-2C/D Hawkeye program by providing the main and nose landing gear, as well as the arresting gear. The E-2C/D Hawkeye is a twin-engine, tactical aircraft. Often referred to as the “digital quarterback,” it conducts battlefield management and command and control operations for aircraft carrier strike groups.
