Nabtesco Corporation has been selected by Boeing to supply Flight Control Actuation Systems for the 777X program. Nabtesco already supplies actuation systems for four flight control surfaces on the current Boeing 777 family of airplanes. This new award is broader in scope and encompasses actuation systems for eight flight control surfaces, including spoilers.
“We are very proud to be given this opportunity to continue to work together with our valued customer, Boeing,” said Nobutaka Osada, Aerospace Company president. “Including after-sales care, this contract will bring us decades of work and drive long-term growth for the Nabtesco Corporation. We look forward to using the manufacturing expertise and experience we have gained through nearly 40 years of working together with Boeing to contribute to the success of the 777X program, as well as to Boeing’s other development program, the 737MAX, and the overall growth of Japan’s aerospace industry,” he continued.
