Marcus Bryson, the CEO for GKN Aerospace, comments
We are very proud to have received this contract from Triumph Aerostructures for the winglets and ailerons on this high performance aircraft. These items will make an important contribution to the Global 7000 and Global 8000 aircraft achieving their industry-leading range, speed, fuel burn and emissions goals.
Winglet design and build is a growing area of the GKN Aerospace business activity. The company is already providing winglets for the Bombardier CSeries aircraft and supplies winglets for a number of other aircraft platforms.
