Embraer Signs Pool Program Contract with Petroecuador
January 29, 2009
State-owned Ecuadorian company operates an ERJ 145 jet
São José dos Campos, January 29, 2009 – Embraer and Petroecuador – Empresa Estatal
Petróleos del Ecuador – signed a ten-year service contract for the replacement parts Pool
program that will support the ERJ 145 operated by the Ecuadorian company. This special
customer service program provides optimized inventory control and reduces the initial
investment in replacement parts and infrastructure.
“It is very gratifying to sign this important
service contract in support of Petroecuador’s
ERJ 145 aircraft,” said Geraldo Ferreira,
Embraer Vice President, Customer Support –
Defense and Government Market. “We are
certain that the Pool program will fully meet
the expectations of our customer, in terms of
the availability of the replacement parts and
components needed for efficiently operating
the aircraft.”
Last September, Embraer delivered an ERJ 145 jet to Petroecuador. In a 50-seat
configuration, the aircraft transports the company’s employees between the airports of Quito
(Ecuador’s capital city), Lago Agrio, and El Coca (both in the country’s Amazon region).
The ERJ 145 jet is the first member of a diversified aircraft family that, to date, has seen more
than one thousand deliveries. In operation since 1996, the ERJ 145 family has surpassed 14
million flight hours. In the Defense and Government segment, Embraer aircraft fly for over 20
nations, worldwide.
About Petroecuador
Petroecuador (www.petroecuador.com.ec) is a state-owned company whose purpose is to
generate resources for the Ecuadorian population by efficiently exploiting hydrocarbons, always
preserving and protecting the environment in accordance with Government policies and laws.
About the parts Pool program
The replacement parts Pool program is a reliable tool that manages assets and component repairs,
allowing Embraer customers to reduce costs and guarantee the availability of parts that are essential to
the aircraft (“no go” and “go if”) at the time and place they are needed. With onsite storage and
exchange of parts, Embraer keeps a varied number of components in high demand, guaranteeing that
they are always available for replacements, thus minimizing worries about a quick turn-around-time for
requests. The Pool program also offers operators repair management, warranty actions, and a significant
reduction of storage costs, including replacement parts, excess materials, insurance, and others.

ATK Agrees to Contract in Excess of $200 Million to Produce Composite Aft Fan Cases for Rolls-Royce Trent XWB Engines
January 28, 2009
Contract Builds on ATK’s Decades of Experience in Large-Scale Composite Manufacturing
ATK Expands its role as a Leading Supplier of Commercial Aircraft Engine Components
The contract with Rolls-Royce, under which ATK becomes a partner on the Trent XWB program, builds on ATK’s legacy of experience in producing high- quality, large-scale composite components for the aerospace industry. At the date of this announcement, Rolls-Royce has received orders for over 1,000 Trent XWB engines, representing an unprecedented launch position for a large civil aerospace engine at such an early stage in the program. In addition to fabricating the aft fan cases, ATK will integrate additional components into the cases to deliver a finished aft case in support of Rolls-Royce’s assembly of the full fan case module.
The first ATK-fabricated Trent XWB aft fan case is scheduled for delivery to Rolls-Royce in late 2009. Initial ground testing of the Trent XWB is due to commence in 2010, with maiden flight on the new Airbus twinjet scheduled for 2012. Support of the Rolls-Royce design effort and initial production of the Trent XWB aft fan cases will begin immediately.
“ATK’s competitive advantage in composite fabrication technology, built on decades of experience, offers our customers industry-best quality and affordability that can only come from automated fabrication processes,” said
ATK has been meeting the requirements for advanced aerospace composites, and successfully executing on large composite programs for decades. For more than 20 years, since ATK invented the fiber placement process and built the first fiber placement machine, ATK has been at the forefront of composite process technology. ATK has developed processes, from high-speed filament winding to phased array ultrasonic inspection for military and space purposes that are designed to improve quality, reduce cycle time, increase repeatability and reduce cost.
In addition to the composites ATK will provide for the Trent XWB, the company also produces composite fan containment cases for commercial aircraft engines, composite solid rocket motor casings and launch vehicle payload fairings; composite military aircraft wing skins, stabilators and pivot shafts for aircraft such as the F-22 and Joint Strike Fighter; and composite rotor tubes for nuclear power generation.
ATK’s patented automated composites processing technology significantly reduces fabrication costs while dramatically improving the quality of the final product. The use of this technology allows ATK to produce consistently high-quality composite production parts, essential for the Trent XWB standards of efficiency and reduced lifecycle costs.
ATK is a premier aerospace and defense company with more than 17,000 employees in 21 states and
