Embraer selects Esterline for KC-390 programme
Embraer Defense and Security has chosen Esterline Control Systems from the United States to supply the autothrottle system for the KC-390 military transport jet.
“Esterline has the most modern control devices, with flexibility to adapt to the specific needs of each application, thus ensuring the efficiency, comfort, and precision of our product,” said Eduardo Bonini Santos Pinto, Sr. Vice President Operations & COO, Embraer Defense and Security. “This totally integrated solution provides an optimised combination of functionalities, design, and human interface.”
The autothrottle system consists of two throttles and integrated controls for actuating other systems. It transmits to the full authority digital engine control (FADEC) the thrust demands from the flight crew or from the automatic systems of the aircraft.
“This award means a great deal to Esterline. We are committed to supporting the Brazilian aviation industry, and greatly value our strong relationship with Embraer,” said Brad Lawrence, Esterline’s Chief Executive Officer.
Embraer also announced the selection of Messier-Bugatti-Dowty to supply the wheels, brakes, landing gear extension and retraction system and nose wheel steering manifold for the KC-390 military transport aircraft.
“The choice of Messier-Bugatti-Dowty will provide the necessary toughness to meet the demanding requirements of the KC-390 applications,” said Eduardo.
The system consists of carbon brakes, electronic brake-by-wire units and hydraulic components responsible for controlling the braking of the aircraft, including auto-brakes and anti-skid.
