A Hamilton Sundstrand unit, Kidde Aerospace & Defense, will provide the integrated fire and overheat protection systems for Commercial Aviation Corporation of China’s (COMAC) new C919 aircraft.

The system includes engine and alternative power unit (APU) fire detectors, wheel well and bleed duct overheating sensors, cargo and lavatory smoke detectors, fixed fire extinguishers and portable fire extinguishers for the cockpit and cabin.

The programme is expected to be worth more than $250 million in revenues over its life.

The C919 narrow-body jet will be China’s largest domestically produced commercial airliner with a capacity of 190 passengers.

COMAC expects a global market for over 2,000 C919 aircraft over 20 years following its entry into service in 2016.
