Ontic Assumes Manufacture, Support of Honeywell TRAS
California-headquartered supplier to expand site in Staverton, UK
Ontic TRAS for CFM 56
The Ontic thrust reverser actuation system supports the GE CF6 and CF34 engines.

Ontic has signed an exclusive license agreement with Honeywell to take over production and repair of its thrust reverser actuation system product line. Used primarily upon landing to slow aircraft by reversing the direction of the engine thrust, the system supports the GE CF6 and CF34 engines and flies on more than 3,000 aircraft.

Ontic calls the system “a strong fit” for its portfolio and technical engineering expertise at its UK facility in Staverton, near Cheltenham. Crucially, the license addition builds on Ontic’s complex hydraulic systems knowledge, adding a new pneumatic product competency in its UK operations.
