HAL to produce crucial parts of Boeing-777s in Bangalore

fullstory

New Delhi, Oct 22 (PTI) State-owned Hindustan Aeronautics Ltd would now be producing and assembling 'flaperons' of Boeing-777s which are used for take-offs, landings and manoeuvering of these sophisticated airplanes.

An agreement to this effect was signed between HAL and Boeing Company here today for the production of flaperons for use on Boeing?s 777 series commercial jetliner. The work will be performed in Bangalore, a Boeing spokesperson said.

HAL is expected to deliver its first flaperon assembly to Boeing "within the next few years", she said.

The B-777 flaperons are a highly complex composite assembly that is instrumental in controlling the airplane?s maneuverability in flight. Referred to as a 'control surface', the flaperons work both as an aileron to control roll and as a flap to control a plane's lift.

LOL... and what about the 12 Airbus aircraft in service with PIA? Hindustan Aeronautics has been manufacturing doors for Airbus aircraft since mid-2008 and Airbus recently announced plans to transfer about 20% of its engineering and design work to India by 2020.

Airbus plans to ramp up engineering in India

HAL receives order for manufacturing doors from Airbus Industries

Hmm... let me suggest some other manufacturers to PIA -

Embraer
ATR
Tupolev
Antonov
Ilyushin

Best of luck PIA

HCL technologies writes sw for the Airbus, TCS writes sw for boeing, Patni computers writes sw for GE aircraft engines.

There is no escaping from an Indian tag in the aircraft industry.
