Beaver Aerospace & Defense to Unveil New Electromechanical Landing Gear Actuator at the 2010 Farnborough International Airshow
Livonia, Michigan - Beaver Aerospace & Defense, Inc., a global leader in the design and manufacturing of unique and broad-range actuation technologies, will unveil a new electromechanical landing gear actuator at the 2010 Farnborough International Airshow (FIA). The actuator employs an emergency freefall deployment feature, which allows the landing gear to be safely engaged in the event of a power outage. This groundbreaking technology allows aircraft manufacturers to save weight by completely eliminating hydraulic systems and reducing aircraft maintenance.
Beaver's electromechanical actuators and ball screws can be found on thousands of commercial and military aircraft around the world, as well as mission-critical space exploration systems. Beaver also provides expert repair, overhaul and testing services for all electromechanical actuation systems and ball screws. And, to top it off, Beaver is the industry leader for on-time delivery, with current performance surpassing 99.8%.
"Beaver is committed to moving the aerospace industry forward," said Jason Ratcliffe, General Manager of Beaver Aerospace & Defense. "Our actuators and ball screws are custom designed to fit virtually any application with superior performance, quality and precision."
The 2010 Farnborough International Airshow takes place July 19-25 in Farnborough, United Kingdom. Beaver Aerospace & Defense will be exhibiting in the US Pavilion in booth 2/A18.
