Aircraft component manufacturer Triumph Group has secured a contract from Airbus to supply uplocks for A321XLR single-aisle aircraft.
Under this contract, Triumph’s Integrated Systems will develop new uplocks for the aircraft’s main and nose landing gear.
The contract has a performance period running through the life of the aircraft programme.
Triumph Integrated Systems executive vice-president Frank Dubey said: “We are pleased that Triumph has been selected to provide uplocks for the new single-aisle variant for the A321.
“This extends our longstanding relationship with Airbus as a supplier of landing gear extension and retraction systems and supports our efforts to become the supplier of choice for uplocks across Airbus platforms.”
An uplock is a locking device that is designed to keep aircraft landing gear up in the retracted position.
