Curtiss-Wright Awarded $18 Million Contract for Helicopter Ice-Protection Systems
September 5, 2008
Electronics Package Prevents Ice Build-up On New Korea Aerospace Industries
Utility Helicopter
ROSELAND, N.J., Sept. 5 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ — Korea Aerospace
Industries, Ltd. has awarded Curtiss-Wright Corporation (NYSE: CW) a
contract to provide an electronics package that will provide protection
against ice build-up on the engine air inlets, windshield and main and tail
rotor blades on a new utility helicopter. The contract has a potential
value in excess of $18 million over a 12-year period.
“Curtiss-Wright is very pleased to supply this vital technology to
ensure safe helicopter flight during severe weather conditions,” said
Martin R. Benante, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Curtiss-Wright.
“These products and systems provide industry-leading technology for
enabling rotorcraft flight in known icy conditions.”
Helicopters often need to be grounded to avoid ice build-up on rotor
blades, which creates unstable flight operations. Curtiss-Wright’s proven
technology in electronic ice protection for rotorcraft includes the Rotor
Ice Protection System (RIPS) as well as windshield and engine ice
protection controllers. These products monitor and prevent ice from forming
on all rotor blades, on the windshield and on the air intake to the
engines.

Aerojet Completes Additional Risk Reduction Engine Testing for NASA’s Orion Crew Module
September 5, 2008
SACRAMENTO, Calif., Sept. 4 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ — Aerojet, a
GenCorp (NYSE: GY) company, successfully completed a hot-fire testing
program of NASA’s Orion Crew Module’s 160 lb. thrust mono-propellant
engine. Test program objectives were met by demonstrating pulse mode
operation of the engine at expected Orion flight conditions.
The altitude/pulse mode hot fire test program consisted of 87 engine
starts (exceeding the specification requirement), 2,118 engine pulses
(exceeding the previous qualification and nearly three times the
specification requirement), and more than 400 lbs. of propellant throughput
(approximately two and half times the specification requirement). The
testing concluded not only with the objectives met but with life remaining
on the engine, indicating that the MR-104G, with upgraded thrust, will meet
the required Orion pulse mode operating conditions. “Risk reduction testing
of the Orion thrusters continues to be a highly successful collaboration
between NASA, Lockheed Martin and Aerojet. This will result in early
retirement of key program risks,” said Doug Cosens, Aerojet’s Project Orion
Program director. “The data derived from this test series will allow
mission designers to anchor their models with very high confidence.”
Aerojet will provide propulsion for NASA’s Orion Crew Module as well as
all engines aboard the Orion Service Module to prime contractor Lockheed
Martin. The current Orion Crew Module flight configuration includes 12
MR-104G engines operating at 160 lbs. thrust. The MR-104G engine family
originally provided in-space propulsion for the Voyager 1 and 2 and
Magellan missions. Subsequent MR-104G variants provided propulsion for
Landsat and NOAA satellites as well as other U.S. government programs.
The Orion crew exploration vehicle will be the flagship of NASA’s
Constellation Program, which is comprised of the spacecraft and systems
that will carry astronauts to the International Space Station and conduct
sustained human exploration of the moon and Mars. The first crewed mission
of Orion is currently scheduled for spring 2015.
Aerojet is a world-recognized aerospace and defense leader principally
serving the missile and space propulsion, defense and armaments markets.
GenCorp is a leading technology-based manufacturer of aerospace and defense
products and systems with a real estate segment that includes activities

Parker Chosen to Develop Hydraulic and Fuel Systems for New Bombardier CSeries Aircraft
September 5, 2008
Contracts expected to generate approximately $1.2 billion in revenues
CLEVELAND, Sept. 4 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ — Parker Hannifin, the
global leader in motion and control technologies, today announced that its
Parker Aerospace segment has been chosen by Bombardier Aerospace to design
and produce the fully integrated hydraulic and fuel systems for its new
CSeries family of aircraft. The company estimates that the contracts will
generate approximately $1.2 billion in revenues over the life of the
program.
“We are proud to support Bombardier Aerospace and this exciting new
program,” said Bob Barker, president of Parker Aerospace and executive vice
president and operating officer of Parker Hannifin. “We have been providing
Bombardier with system solutions for over a decade, supporting the Global
Express, Q400, and CRJ platforms. We look forward to working with this
important customer on the new CSeries aircraft. What’s more, these
significant contract wins will contribute to Parker’s continued growth.”
Fuel system
Parker Aerospace’s fluid management and control systems organization in
Irvine, California, will design the fuel system for the CSeries aircraft.
Product design and manufacture will be completed by Parker’s Air & Fuel
Division, Electronic Systems, and Nichols Airborne Divisions.
The fluid mechanical equipment includes the control valves for fuel and
emergency shutoff, isolation, and venting of air in and out of the aircraft
fuel tanks. This equipment will provide multiple functions for the
aircraft’s fuel system, including refueling and defueling, transfer, engine
feed, and fuel tank venting. During aircraft operation, the pumps transfer
fuel from tank to tank and supply the fuel to the engines.
The fuel measurement system gauges the fuel quantity in the tanks
located in the aircraft’s wings and fuselage, as well as the fuel
management system, which monitors the distribution of fuel while commanding
pumps and valves in the fuel system to provide refuel and fuel transfer.
“Parker is very excited to be a part of the new CSeries airliner and
looks forward to providing Bombardier Aerospace with the fuel systems for
this family of next-generation aircraft,” said Greg Crowe, Air & Fuel
Division Vice President and General Manager. “This is a significant award
for Parker and is aligned with our strategy to provide complete systems for
our customers.”
Hydraulic system
The hydraulic system will be designed and manufactured by Parker’s
Hydraulic Systems Division in Kalamazoo, Michigan. The hydraulic system
provides the functions necessary to power and control the aircraft’s flight
control system, landing gear and steering system, thrust-reverser and
variable-area nozzle system. This is the Parker Hydraulic Systems
Division’s fifth major hydraulic system platform to be jointly developed
with Bombardier Aerospace.
Major system hardware elements include engine-driven pumps, VFAC-motor-
driven pumps, a power transfer unit, reservoirs, accumulators, and
filtration. Additionally, Parker will provide ancillary equipment,
including heat exchangers, various sensors, valves, and quick-disconnect
couplings.
Parker Aerospace Hydraulic Systems Division Vice President and General
Manager Greg Bierlein commented, “We are honored to have been selected to
provide our fifth complete hydraulic system for Bombardier and are excited
to be a part of the CSeries and this growing mid-range aircraft market.”
As the systems provider, Parker is responsible for architecture
development, system sizing and analysis, equipment development and
qualification, and integration testing that supports overall aircraft
certification.
Fly-by-wire flight control system
As previously announced under separate contracts, Parker has been
selected as the exclusive supplier of fly-by-wire flight control systems
for a period of ten years for all new Bombardier widebody aircraft programs
requiring this technology. Parker Aerospace will develop a complete,
state-of-the-art, generic fly-by-wire system from stick to surface, that
will then be customized and manufactured for separate aircraft programs,
starting with the CSeries aircraft. Parker estimates that this has the
potential to generate revenues of US $3.5 billion over the life of the
programs.
CSeries family of aircraft
The five-seat-abreast CSeries aircraft program – launched on July 13,
2008 – is specifically designed to meet the growing needs of the 100- to
149-seat commercial aircraft market category, estimated by Bombardier
Aerospace at 6,300 aircraft, representing more than $250 billion in revenue
over the next 20 years. Bombardier expects to be able to capture up to half
of this market.

Parker Aerospace is an operating segment of Parker Hannifin
Corporation. Parker Aerospace designs, manufactures, and services
hydraulic, fuel, inerting, and pneumatic components, systems, and related
electronic controls for aerospace and other high-technology markets. Based
