Abstract

The article reports that Messier-Dowty's selection to provide the main and nose lading gear for the 787 is its first prime contract with Boeing for a commercial aircraft and is an example of how Boeing is using Life-Cycle Product Teams to work with its suppliers. Until now, Messier-Dowty's commercial landing gear have most often appeared on Airbus aircraft, although its integrated landing gear system customers include Bombardier for the Global Express and Challenger 300 and Sukhoi for the Russian Regional Jet.
