CHARLOTTE, N.C., Feb. 8,
2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Goodrich Corporation (NYSE: GR) at next
week's Singapore Airshow will showcase a full range of advanced
systems for commercial aircraft, defense and space applications.
The 2012 Singapore Airshow takes place at the Changi Exhibition
Center, Singapore on February
14-19.
The Goodrich pavilion (CD-07) will prominently feature an engine
nacelle inlet cowl displayed on the outside of its building at the
beginning of chalet row nearest the exhibit halls. Inside, visitors
will have a chance to experience the latest systems including
Goodrich's SmartDisplay® Electronic Flight Bag (EFB), an easy and
affordable way to display GPS-based automatic dependent
surveillance broadcast (ADS-B) information, critical to enhancing
safety, increasing access and efficiency, and improving aviation's
environmental footprint.
Additionally, the C-130 boltless wheel and DURACARB® carbon
brake system providing eight times longer brake life and six times
longer wheel life than the current wheel and brake system will be
displayed alongside Goodrich's Boeing 787 electrically-actuated
braking system, the first on a production commercial aircraft. The
electric brake system uses the latest in electric controls, modular
actuators, and on-board brake wear and system health monitoring
systems.
The advanced TERPROM® digital terrain system on display at the
Goodrich pavilion is the only terrain awareness and warning system
of its capability on the market. It successfully blends and
interprets the inputs of a diverse array of sensors to provide
pilots with full situational awareness, enabling them to fly far
more safely and effectively. The real-time simulation will give
visitors a chance to see the system in action as they pilot an
aircraft across varied terrain.
In addition, Goodrich will showcase its ACES 5™ ejection seat,
built on the legacy ACES II® ejection seat's one-of-a-kind
stability package, lower life cycle costs, and proven safety
record. The seat's modular design also allows maintenance
personnel to remove it from the aircraft in sections, eliminating
the need to remove the aircraft's canopy or escape hatch; this
reduces manpower required, saves money, and increases aircraft
availability.
Also on display is the Goodrich TASE family of high performance,
low size, weight and power, gyro-stabilized camera gimbals, ideal
for surveillance, inspection, law enforcement, fire fighting and
environmental monitoring. The camera gimbals come standard with
features that include built-in moving maps, geo-pointing and
geo-locating along with command/control/record software and
joystick steering for operator ease of use and simple camera
orientation.
Advanced safety and rescue systems will include internal mount
rescue hoists, fully integrated ice detection and protection
systems and Goodrich's latest family of aviation life rafts by
Winslow, used by the leading corporate and business aircraft
manufacturers, and custom-designed to fit in a variety of aircraft
interior configurations. Winslow has also successfully applied its
aviation life raft design capabilities to the commercial helicopter
market.
Goodrich technical teams will be on hand throughout the show for
expert demonstrations and to answer questions. Visitors to the
pavilion will get a chance to interact with the array of innovative
products on display, and even get a chance to view some of the
latest products in action.
