Flight-critical motion and flow control products strengthen Parker Hannifin’s aerospace and defence portfolio as demand across major programmes grows.
A $500 million investment will increases manufacturing capacity, supporting higher output of defence systems already deployed across U.S. platforms.
The joint research ePRISME lab will test and simulate electric systems for thrust reversers and develop predictive maintenance tools for future commercial aircraft.
The company has said the site would create more than 275 jobs, expand hydraulic flight control capabilities, and bring investment exceeding $200 million to Spartanburg County.
A unified approach across the company's 12 certified facilities has supported next-gen actuator development for commercial, defence and electric vertical lift aircraft projects.
The agreement with Moog will enhance the operational capabilities of the Future Long Range Assault Aircraft. The actuators enable the transition between vertical takeoff and landing and forward flight.
The systems comprise a modified high-capacity servo roller screw actuator with a precision BISS-C position encoder, high-capacity parking brake and D38999 connectors coupled with high strength stainless main rods.
The Smart Workstation is designed to analyse processes to improve efficiency and provide insight into alternative, more efficient paths forward. A person can operate it with limited experience.
Garmin will supply the avionics for the aircraft while Liebherr-Aerospace will supply the flight controls actuators. Intergalactic will provide the thermal management system.
Hanwha will now be responsible for all actuation systems of the VX4. The development of actuation systems includes the design and mass production of the propeller tilt and pitch change mechanisms.
Production has begun with the installation of assembly tooling and the initiation of various system production lines, marking a significant milestone along BETA's path to delivering the ALIA CTOL and the ALIA VTOL.
Works will include ruddervator, flaperon and swashplate actuators, active force feel inceptor system, pylon conversion actuators, flight control computers, power converter units and some hydraulics.
Boeing, Piasecki Aircraft Corporation and Innovate UK have entrusted projects in environmental cooling systems, helicopter transmission and electro-mechanical landing gear actuation respectively.
Components designed by Joby and manufactured by Toyota will be delivered to Joby's facility in San Carlos, California, before the finished assemblies are shipped to the pilot production line in Marina for integration.
The components are used on board passenger aircraft such as the Airbus A320 and A330. Triumph has performed this work at its location in Heiligenhaus, Germany facility since 2008.
