Spirit AeroSystems has been selected by Mitsubishi Aircraft Corporation to design and build the pylon for its new next-generation regional jetliner, known as the Mitsubishi Regional Jet (MRJ). Pylon work will be done at Spirit’s facility in Wichita, Kan.
A pylon is a large, highly specialized aerostructure that holds an aircraft’s engine and its casing to the wing. Spirit’s Wichita location has decades of experience building pylons for large commercial aircraft. It currently builds pylons for every Boeing commercial airplane in production.
