Liebherr to supply cockpit static inverter for A320 and A330
Liebherr-Aerospace has been selected by Airbus to supply the cockpit static inverter for the Airbus A320 and A330 families.
The cockpit static inverter will replace the current version. It offers a more reliable, lightweight, fully digital solution and is based on wide band-gap technology together with enhanced connection functions.
Two Liebherr companies have developed the cockpit static inverter: Liebherr-Elektronik, based in Lindau, Germany, Liebherr’s centre of excellence for electronics and a major player in its field, is responsible for all activities regarding the hardware, including production, and Liebherr-Aerospace Toulouse, Liebherr’s centre of excellence for air management systems in Toulouse, France, provides the inverter’s software.
Both companies have vast experience in power electronics and joined forces to offer Airbus the latest technology.
Francis Carla, managing director and chief technology officer, Liebherr-Aerospace & Transportation, commented: “Airbus and Liebherr have been cooperating since the very beginnings of Airbus. Every civil Airbus aircraft model flies with Liebherr technology on board. Now, we are very happy to add stand-alone power electronics to our already broad systems and components portfolio, and we are looking forward to further expanding our collaboration with Airbus in Power-on-Board technologies.”
