A new contract to develop the bleed air system for the Airbus A320neo and the opening on September 22 of a €27 million test and development center at its Toulouse manufacturing site underline Liebherr-Aerospace’s ambition to continue growing its estimated 40 percent share of the market for civil aircraft air management systems.
The electro-pneumatic bleed air system will equip both Pratt & Whitney PW1100G and CFM Leap-X-engined variants of the A320neo. Other new programs for which the company supplies air management systems include the Boeing 747-8, Bombardier C Series, Comac C919 and Sukhoi Superjet 100, as well as the Embraer KC-390 military tanker-transport and Learjet 85 business jet.
