Boeing has selected UTC Aerospace Systems for three additional systems on the new Boeing 777X large, twin-engine jet. These are in addition to numerous systems on the aircraft awarded to UTC Aerospace Systems in 2015. UTC Aerospace Systems is a unit of United Technologies Corp. (NYSE: UTX).
UTC Aerospace Systems will now also provide the horizontal stabilizer trim actuator that moves the horizontal stabilizer to trim and stabilize the aircraft in the pitch axis during flight. This flight-critical component, part of the 777X flight control system, is being developed by UTC Aerospace Systems’ Ratier-Figeac subsidiary and is an advanced design from field-proven technology.
