GE Aviation recently was selected by Boeing to provide the primary
and secondary lighting controllers, forward cabin control station,
hydraulic fluid level monitor, and ramp door control panel for the
Bell Boeing V-22 Osprey aircraft. The five-year agreement, valued at
almost $15 million, is for 167 aircraft.
"The V-22 Osprey is an excellent example of how the depth of our
avionics and integration expertise provides operating and cost
advantages for our customers," said Dr. John Ferrie, President,
Systems for GE Aviation.
GE Aviation's panel and lighting controllers provide the V-22 with
a highly integrated solution for precise lighting control in the
aircraft's interior, including cockpit instrument, console, flood,
formation and dome lighting. Manufacturing will take place at the GE
facility in New York, with production deliveries beginning in 2008.
GE is also supplying the aircraft with several other avionics
systems resulting from its strength in integrating digital, electrical
power and mechanical systems. Including this new win, GE's content on
the V-22 is now valued at $155M through the life of the program.
