UTC Aerospace Systems is supplying the first all-new integrated drive generator (IDG) design in more than a decade, an investment of millions of dollars that has been 15 years in development, the company said.

The IDG will supply constant frequency AC electrical power for Embraer E2 jets, including the new E190-E2, which accomplished its first flight on May 23 at São José dos Campos, Brazil. This was also the first E2 flight for the IDG, which UTC Aerospace (Outdoor Exhibit 3 & 4) is providing under contract to Embraer.
