Meggitt has received a three year continuation contract with Northrop Grumman for the supply of fuel bladders on the F/A-18 Super Hornet. The contract is valued at around $20 million and deliveries are scheduled to commence this month. Using innovative polyurethane technology, Meggitt’s fuel bladders offer a long-life, lightweight solution that is highly flexible, durable and maintenance-free.

Chris Allen, president of Meggitt’s Airframe division said: “The F/A-18 Super Hornet is the tactical aircraft of choice for the US Navy. We are very proud that our innovative fuel cell technology has been selected to support this next generation fighter, protecting both pilots and aircraft in mission critical situations around the world.” www.meggitt.com Michael Tyrrell Author Michael Tyrrell Digital Coordinator Tags Meggitt defence industry Share This Article Tweet Share Share Share Subscribe to our FREE Newsletter Related Articles Meggitt secures SMARTSupport aftermarket contract Meggitt wins US Navy contract worth $27.4m New aftermarket deals for Meggitt in Asia Most recent Articles Sintavia acquires M4K-4 printers from AMCM Michael Holden to lead DSEI 2021 space strategy and development Sensenich awarded STC for carbon fibre propeller Share This Article Tweet Share Share Share Subscribe to our FREE Newsletter
