CHARLOTTE, N.C., July 5, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Goodrich
Corporation (NYSE: GR) will showcase a full range of advanced
systems for commercial aircraft, defense and space applications at
the Farnborough International Airshow 2012, which takes place
in Farnborough, UK on July 9-15.
The Goodrich pavilion (outside OE4, located between hall 1 and
chalet rows A and B) will prominently feature a fully inflated life
raft from its Winslow product range, used by leading corporate and
business aircraft manufacturers, and custom-designed to fit in a
variety of aircraft interior configurations. Completing the
advanced safety and rescue systems display are rescue hoists and
the Goodrich ACES 5™ ejection seat, which builds on the legacy ACES
II® ejection seat's one-of-a-kind stability package, lower life
cycle costs and proven safety record.
Goodrich is also displaying a C-130 boltless wheel and its
Boeing 737 Next Generation DURACARB® carbon brake system. The
DURACARB brake provides eight times longer brake life and six times
longer wheel life than current steel wheel and brake systems.
An example of a current-generation thrust reverser actuator will be
shown as well as an advanced composite high lift transmission shaft
from CTG.
The Goodrich display will feature an MDR-80 mission data
recorder with an advanced TERPROM® digital terrain system, the only
terrain awareness and warning system of its capability on the
market. It successfully blends and interprets the inputs of a
diverse array of sensors to provide pilots with full situational
awareness, enabling them to fly far more safely and effectively.
The real-time simulation will give visitors a chance to see the
system in action as they pilot an aircraft across varied
terrain.
Visitors will be able to experience the latest systems including
Goodrich's SmartDisplay® Electronic Flight Bag (EFB), an easy and
affordable way to display GPS-based automatic dependent
surveillance broadcast (ADS-B) information, required by the NextGen
Air Transportation System.
The DB-110 reconnaissance intelligence exploitation system, one
of Goodrich's modular and scalable workstations providing
intelligence capture, processing, exploitation, reporting and
dissemination will be on display. The Goodrich TASE 400 high
performance, low size, weight and power, gyro-stabilized camera
gimbal, will also be on display, ideal for surveillance,
inspection, law enforcement, fire fighting and environmental
monitoring.
For the business jet market, the Nexus seat from Goodrich's
Interiors business, featuring 360-degree swivel, full-flat recline
and sumptuous upholstery, will be highlighted with a refreshment
center designed with the finest high-gloss, natural wood veneers in
the world, resulting in an elegant hand-crafted cabinet that is as
functional as it is art for the business jet.
Goodrich technical teams will be on hand throughout the show for
expert demonstrations and to answer questions. Visitors to the
pavilion will get a chance to interact with the array of innovative
products on display, and even get a chance to view some of the
latest products in action.
