Liebherr Showcases Flight Control Products
German manufacturer touts environmentally friendly anti-corrosives, 3D printing, and electronic control components at its display.

Veteran Farnborough exhibitor Liebherr-Aerospace is here showcasing its flight control and actuation, air management, landing gear, and gearbox products designed and made for the civil and military markets.

The German company’s wide-ranging display (Hall 4 Stand B100), occupying some 2,700 square feet (250 square meters), includes a nose landing gear housing with a cadmium-free—and thus more environmentally friendly—corrosion protection coating; an animated film depicting how the flight controls and air management systems Liebherr develops and manufactures function; and a weight-optimized bell crank for a helicopter’s main rotor actuator, made by additive layer manufacturing, or 3D printing—the first time Liebherr has displayed a bell crank at Farnborough.
