Airbus Selects Goodrich Wheels and Carbon Brakes for A350 XWB Aircraft Family
Posted on: Tuesday, 9 December 2008, 13:14 CST
The A350 XWB wheels and brake equipment will marry state of the art design techniques with service-proven product technology. The brakes will utilize Goodrich's DURACARB(R) carbon heat sink material. As part of a successful service history, DURACARB(R) has demonstrated 35% greater brake life than competing carbon braking materials, producing cost savings for operators. Key elements of the selection process included product capabilities, design technique, and demonstration of mature, robust program management processes. Goodrich is the first supplier selected to provide wheels and brakes for the A350 XWB.
"This selection for the Airbus A350 XWB provides a position for Goodrich
wheels and brakes on a new widebody aircraft that will serve airlines for
decades to come," said
