Microtecnica To Maintain Tornado Sweep Actuators
Under the Panavia tri-national repair process, Italian specialist Microtecnica (Hall 4 Stand D11) will provide wing sweep actuator repair and overhaul services to BAE Systems for the UK Royal Air Force Tornado fleet. Tornado wing sweep actuators are required to undergo a full maintenance and component check after every 1,200 hours of flying time. BAE System has the responsibility to provide guaranteed availability of the Tornado aircraft for the RAF.

Microtecnica has also announced a strategic alliance with Korean aerospace manufacturer Hanwha Corp. for collaboration on Korean aerospace programs as preferred partner for the design, development and manufacture of new equipment and systems.
