CIRCOR Aerospace Products Group, a business unit of CIRCOR International, has been selected by Piper Aircraft Inc. to design and manufacture a fuel system motor-operated fuel component on the PiperJet Altaire single-engine business jet. The contract value is not being disclosed.
CIRCOR Aerospace will perform the manufacturing, final assembly and testing of these critical fuel system components at its Corona, California facilities. CIRCOR’s “rapid-response” capability will support the Iron Bird build schedule by providing prototype hardware with a 30 percent lead-time reduction. Further, CIRCOR Aerospace is applying “derivative-engineering” to take full advantage of the CIRCOR Aerospace 60 year motor operated valve pedigree, reliability, and design technology.
