Liebherr-Aerospace at Farnborough International Airshow 2016

A leading supplier of systems for the aviation industry, Liebherr-Aerospace will again welcome visitors at Farnborough International Airshow, which takes place from July 11 to 15. Highlight exhibits on the 250 m² stand include a nose landing gear housing with cadmium-free, and thus more environmentally friendly corrosion protection coating.

The company will also display a weight-optimized bell crank made by additive layer manufacturing (“3D printing”). It is the first time that Liebherr-Aerospace will present this part of a helicopter’s main rotor actuator at the trade show in England.

In addition, an animated film will give visitors fascinating insights into how the landing gear, flight controls and air management systems developed, manufactured and serviced by Liebherr-Aerospace function on board the aircraft.
