Collins Wins More T-X Trainer Work
Newest Boeing/Saab T-X Trainer contract builds upon Collins' ejection seat and landing gear work.

Collins Aerospace Systems has been selected to provide additional power and control systems on the Boeing T-X Trainer for the U.S. Air Force, the unit of United Technologies Corp. announced June 17. Specifically, Collins will provide the power takeoff (PTO) shaft, auxiliary power engine control unit (APECU), engine start system, and main electric power generation system (MEPGS). It follows Collins’s earlier announcement as the supplier of the next-generation supersonic trainer’s ACES 5 ejection seat and landing gear system.
