Woodward, Inc., a global leader in energy control solutions for aerospace and industrial applications, announced an agreement with Moog, Inc. in support of position sensors for the U.S. Army’s Future Long Range Assault Aircraft (FLRAA).
Bell’s next-generation tiltrotor aircraft was selected by the U.S. Army for its FLRAA program. Woodward’s position sensors will be integrated into Moog’s Pylon Conversion Actuators, which rotate the pylons from vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL) to airplane mode, enabling unmatched operational agility for FLRAA.
“Woodward has a long history of providing electromechanical components to Moog for commercial and military flight control applications, and we are excited to support Moog and the FLRAA team with our position sensor technology,” says Jon Geisheimer, Woodward’s Vice President and General Manager of Electromechanical Systems & Electronics.
