UTAS Engineering Brains-Trust Tackles Problems For OEMs
UTC Aerospace Systems is now the largest company in its sector.
The UTC Aerospace Systems advanced icing wind tunnel in Burnsville, Minnesota, is capable of simulating airspeeds up to Mach 0.9,
 air temperature down to -76 deg F and altitudes up to 47,000 feet. The extreme testing environment enables UTC to develop its sensor product portfolio for improved performance in the most demanding environmental conditions.

Four years on from the merger that brought Goodrich and Hamilton Sundstrand together to form UTC Aerospace Systems (UTAS), the combined group has quietly established itself as the industry’s largest and most diverse systems specialist. With annual revenues of around $14.3 billion, UTAS is about twice as large as any of its rivals and at a pre-Farnborough show press briefing, its president David Gitlin predicted that it will sustain an average annual compound growth rate of around 6 percent, due mainly to the fact that on new aircraft programs such as the Bombardier C Series and the new Boeing Max and Airbus Neo narrowbodies, it has around twice the equipment content as on the aircraft these are replacing.
