Woodward has announced an agreement with Moog, Inc. to provide position sensors for the U.S. Army’s future long-range assault aircraft (FLRAA). Bell’s innovative tiltrotor aircraft has been chosen by the U.S. Army for the FLRAA programme.
Woodward’s advanced position sensors will be integrated into Moog’s pylon conversion actuators, which enable the aircraft’s pylons to transition from vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) mode to airplane mode. This critical capability supports unmatched operational agility for the FLRAA programme.
“Woodward has a long history of providing electromechanical components to Moog for commercial and military flight control applications and we are excited to support Moog and the FLRAA team with our position sensor technology,” stated Jon Geisheimer, Woodward’s Vice President and General Manager of Electromechanical Systems & Electronics.
