Ultra Electronics, Controls, based in Greenford, UK, joined Boeing at London’s Heathrow Airport on April 23rd, for the latest stop of the 787 Dreamliner aircraft’s worldwide ‘Dream Tour.’ The 787 is currently travelling the globe to allow Boeing’s partners and customers to experience the revolutionary technology and passenger innovation on board the aircraft. Controls is partnered with GKN Aerospace for the design, manufacture and delivery of the innovative Wing Ice Protection System on the 787, the first of its kind solution for wing de-icing. To save weight and to make the aircraft more fuel efficient, Boeing decided to incorporate a pioneering system that used electrically powered heater mats to provide ice protection of the wings. By teaming with GKN Aerospace, Ultra was able to work with Boeing to provide such a system.
