The merger in 1999 of air management and engine control specialist Sundstrand and power systems provider Hamilton Standard has proved to be a prescient move that shrewdly anticipated the aerospace industry’s requirement for companies with sufficient technological capability to take on a systems integration role. And according to Hamilton Sundstrand (HS) president David Hess, the proof of this strategy has taken tangible form in the extensive contributions the company is making to the new Boeing 787 and Airbus A380 airliner programs.
