- Engine will power new Bombardier CSeries aircraft, Mitsubishi
Regional Jet SINGAPORE, Feb. 1, 2010 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ --
SINGAPORE AIRSHOW -- Goodrich Corporation's (NYSE:GR) maintenance,
repair and overhaul campus in Singapore is developing key nacelle
system components for the Pratt & Whitney PurePower® PW1000G
engine. The engine will power the new Bombardier CSeries commercial
aircraft and Mitsubishi MRJ regional jet. Primary activities being
performed in Singapore include the engine nacelle's fan cowl doors,
inlet outer barrels and thrust reverser outer cowl design and
analysis. The new work leverages the company's development of
nacelle components for the engine's demonstrator program in 2007
and early 2008. The nacelle components for the PurePower engine are
produced using a resin film infusion process developed by Goodrich,
which contributes to greater durability at a lighter weight than
conventional production methods. J.C. Langlois, leader of geared
turbofan nacelle programs for Goodrich's Aerostructures business,
said, "While our Singapore operation has made its reputation as a
world-class maintenance, repair and overhaul facility, it is also
playing an integral role in our development of the nacelle system
for the PurePower PW 1000G engine." The PW1000G engine has an
advanced gear system that allows the engine's fan to operate at a
slower speed than the low-pressure compressor and turbine. The
combination of the gear system and all-new advanced core is
expected to deliver double-digit improvements in fuel efficiency
and environmental emissions and a 50 percent reduction in noise.
Goodrich was selected as the exclusive nacelle system provider for
the engine in 2008. Its Singapore facility has been involved in the
engine since the program's inception, providing fan cowl doors and
other components for the demonstrator and flight test engines.

of systems and services to aerospace, defense and homeland security
