Boeing awards additional 787 work to Goodrich

Boeing has selected Goodrich Corporation to supply the flight deck lighting system and cabin attendant seating for the 787 Dreamliner, leaving very few work packages remaining on the 787 program.

Goodrich's Aircraft Interior Products specialty seating systems team in Colorado Springs, Colo. will develop and manufacture 16g-certified, floor-mounted, standard cabin attendant seats as well as high-comfort cabin attendant seats under the terms of the contract. First deliveries are scheduled in 2007.

The flight deck lighting system consists of all task lighting, general illumination and emergency lighting on the flight deck. Goodrich's Lighting Systems team with locations in Lippstadt, Germany and Tampa, Fla. will be producing the all LED-based system.

With these work packages, Boeing has awarded 11 Dreamliner contracts to Goodrich including the cargo system, wheels and electric braking system, exterior lighting, nacelles and thrust reversers, proximity sensing system, fuel quantity indicating system and fuel management software.
