Chemillé, FRANCE – The CIRCOR Aerospace Products Group, a business unit of CIRCOR International (NYSE: CIR), has been selected by SAFRAN / Messier-Bugatti to design, develop, and manufacture a complete suite of new, integrated speed sensing and control solutions for the Airbus A350 XWB, including the landing gear wheel tachometers and cockpit brake pedal transmitter units.
CIRCOR Aerospace will develop these precision controls using its global engineering resources and perform final assembly and testing at its Bodet Aero Chemille, France facilities, with support from our Tangier, Morocco ATLAS Productions subsidiary. CIRCOR Aerospace was previously awarded the design and development contracts for the A350 XWB landing gear door actuators and landing gear hydraulics control manifolds.
