Liebherr-Aerospace wins another contract for Boeing 777X

Boeing has awarded Liebherr-Aerospace another contract for the Boeing 777X: the system supplier will deliver two components – the power drive unit and the hydraulic motor – for the leading edge actuation system of the new wide-body aircraft. Relying on its experience in high-lift systems, and especially in gearboxes and hydraulic motors for long-range commercial aircraft, Liebherr-Aerospace will design a power drive unit and a hydraulic motor that are compact, extremely reliable and light in weight. These two components will provide the mechanical power to drive the aircraft’s leading edge actuation system.
