June 29 2009 - 3:59PM
Business Wire
Goodrich Corporation (NYSE: GR) has been selected by Bombardier
to provide its next generation SmartProbe� air data system for the
Learjet�85 midsize business jet. The selection marks the first
application of Goodrich�s SmartProbe air data system on a Learjet
aircraft. Work will be performed by Goodrich�s Sensors and
Integrated Systems team in Burnsville, Minn.
The next generation SmartProbe system provides all critical air
data parameters - including stall protection - to the aircraft�s
flight control, pilot display and other systems. SmartProbe air
data sensing technology integrates multi-function sensing probes,
pressure sensors and air data computer processing. Elimination of
pneumatic lines reduces system cost, weight and complexity. Full
integration improves system reliability, maintainability and
performance. The flexibility and versatility of the next generation
SmartProbe system makes it suitable for traditional to fully
fly-by-wire flight control applications.
�Selection of our SmartProbe system, a first at Learjet,
broadens our business opportunities with Bombardier and strengthens
our market leadership in air data systems for next generation
aircraft,� said Jan Mathiesen, vice president, Goodrich Sensors and
Integrated Systems. �The system brings outstanding value and
performance to the Learjet 85 as this exciting new platform joins a
long list of successful aircraft using SmartProbe technology.�
The new Learjet 85 aircraft will be the first Bombardier
business jet to feature an all-composite structure, allowing
Learjet designers to maximize cabin comfort while minimizing drag
and improving performance.�Designed to provide a larger, more
comfortable cabin than any existing midsize aircraft, the Learjet
85 jet will offer eight passengers a stand-up cabin built to ensure
superior productivity and comfort. Entry into service is on
schedule for�2013.
