Liebherr-Aerospace will participate in Paris Air Show 2017, which takes place from June 19 to 25 in Le Bourget (France). Visitors to the show will be able to see the company at a number of different locations.

A leading supplier to the aviation industry, Liebherr-Aerospace will welcome partners, official delegations and visitors at its stand N° A276 in hall 2A. On display will be a wide range of air management, flight control and landing gear systems, as well as components, on an area covering around 260 m².

Exhibit highlights

Components for the wing tip folding system for the Boeing 777X aircraft program and a nose landing gear for the AW189 helicopter, which is extended and retracted on the stand, are presented to the general public for the first time. In addition, visitors will have the opportunity to discover innovations in research and development, such as the “Skin Heat Exchanger”, a heat exchanger that is an integral part of the aircraft structure. Further highlights include various components produced using the 3D printing process, such as the valve block of a spoiler actuator that has flown for the first time this year on board an A380 test aircraft.

Amongst others, an electronic control unit for the high lift system of the Embraer E-Jet E2 will also be displayed on the stand. This electronic control unit was developed by Liebherr-Aerospace in collaboration with Liebherr-Elektronik GmbH, Lindau (Germany), which is also showcasing products of its own at the stand.
