Parker Aerospace and AVIC Form Joint Ventures To Support Comac C919

Parker Aerospace and China Aviation Industry Corporation (AVIC) held a contract-signing ceremony just ahead of the Paris Air Show to form two joint venture companies in support of Comac’s new C919 program.

Under one of the agreements, Parker Aerospace (Hall 5 C220) and AVIC’s Flight Automated Control Research Institute (FACRI) will form a partnership to provide local, in-country support of the joint development of the flight control actuation systems on the C919. The companies plan to locate the joint venture in Xi’an, site of a customer service repair center responsible for Parker Aerospace, AVIC and third-party products.
