Moog and the Commercial Aircraft Corporation of China (COMAC) will jointly develop the high-lift system for China’s first homegrown C919 commercial aircraft.
The joint development phase of the C919 high-lift system will include all flap and slat actuation, pilot interfaces, electronic controls, power drive units, wing tip brakes, gearboxes and miscellaneous components.
Moog has separately entered into an agreement with Qing’an Group, an industrial partner and subsidiary of the Aviation Industries of China, which will support Moog on the project.
The 190-seater narrow-body aircraft will be the first aircraft to be designed and built in China.
COMAC anticipates a global market for more than 2,000 C919 aircraft over 20 years, following the entry of the aircraft into service in 2016.
