Contract Extension

Meggitt PLC

("Meggitt" or "the Group")

Meggitt divisions combine forces to extend contract for CSeries aircraft

Meggitt, a leading international company specialising in aerospace equipment, sensing and defence systems, is pleased to announce that Bombardier has selected Meggitt's flight deck-based tyre pressure indicating system ("TPIS") for the CSeries* family of 110 to 130-seat jetliners.

The multi million dollar award extends the functionality of Meggitt's Total Braking System featuring Meggitt's industry-leading EBrake® technology, which was selected by Bombardier in 2009.

The TPIS adds to the aircraft's latest technological advances, providing CSeries aircraft flight and maintenance crews with remote real-time tyre pressure data.

Bombardier's selection of Meggitt's TPIS is a significant collaborative win for two Meggitt divisions-Aircraft Braking Systems ("MABS") and Meggitt Sensing Systems-and builds on MABS' longstanding association with Bombardier.

Meggitt's Chief Executive, Terry Twigger commented:

"By combining these capabilities, we have presented a compelling new offer to the customer, expanding our level of integration and scope of work within ATA Chapter 32 [landing gear], consistent with our long term product strategy."

Editors' notes:

1. ATA chapter numbers provide a common referencing standard for all commercial aircraftdocumentation. This commonality permits greater ease of learning and understanding for pilots and engineers alike. The standard numbering system is controlled and published by the Air Transport Association. ATA Chapter 32 encompasses landing gear.

2. Meggitt's Aircraft Braking Systems equips Bombardier's entire fleet of over 1500 CRJ* Series of commercial jets, supplies the Q400 and Q400 NextGen* advanced turboprop digital brake control system under a subcontract arrangement, supplies business jet braking equipment on the Learjet 60* XR* and the Challenger 605* aircraft and provides the total braking system for the Challenger 850*, 870*, 890* business jets.

3. Meggitt's integrated electric braking system (Ebrake®), the first to fly successfully with no hydraulic back-up, includes nose and main wheels, compact electric actuators and associated control system elements amounting to 48 line replaceable units. The system deploys Meggitt's lightweight, longer lasting NuCarb® carbon heatsinks.

4. Electric braking provides fully integrated brake control and anti-skid protection including emergency and parking brake functions by combining brake-by-wire control technology with electro-mechanical brake actuation. Its development follows the aircraft industry's gradual adoption of electric technology to develop more fuel efficient aircraft with lower emissions. Electric braking is also expected to increase dispatch reliability and reduce unscheduled maintenance costs. The elimination of hydraulic fluids reduces the risk of leaks and associated fires.

5. Meggitt PLC, headquartered in the United Kingdom, is an international engineering group employing some 7,500 people worldwide across North America, Europe and Asia. It specialises in high performance components and sub-systems for aerospace and defence markets primarily but applies its core sensing and controls technologies to land and marine-based gas turbines and the medical, mainstream industrial, test engineering and transportation sectors.
