CAT3508 343 Posted February 26, 2017 Report Share Posted February 26, 2017 Boeing Aerostructures Australia manufactures the ‘moveable trailing edge’ control surfaces of the 787 using a unique carbon fibre production technology developed in Victoria called resin infusion. This is Australia’s largest aerospace contract valued at $5 billion over 20 years, and Fishermans Bend is the only Boeing location in the world to apply the unique resin infusion system that enables the components to be cured without a traditional autoclave. In the past two years, Boeing Aerostructures Australia has invested $70 million in site improvements to support 787 production increases over the next decade. It is also the producer of 737 ailerons, 747 moveable leading edges and 777 cove lip doors, elevators and rudders 1 Link to post Share on other sites
dodgy-alan 1,587 Posted February 26, 2017 Report Share Posted February 26, 2017 That's great news for Britain. Link to post Share on other sites
Corsaire31 419 Posted February 26, 2017 Report Share Posted February 26, 2017 Great news for the UK. Since Airbus already spends annually around 4 billion GBP with UK suppliers, you will have the best of both worlds. ( Although we don't know what it will be in 2 years from now when the Brexit is done, following what will be negociated in the meantime ) Link to post Share on other sites
