Meggitt, the FTSE 100 aerospace, defence and energy group, announced Wednesday that its Aircraft Braking Systems has been selected by Dassault for its all-new Falcon 5X business jet. Meggitt, which has had a long association with Dassault, will supply the jet with its braking system and integrated control and monitoring unit for landing gear extension and retraction, nose wheel steering and aircraft hydraulic systems. Chief Executive Officer Stephen Young said: "This award demonstrates new capabilities in nose wheel steering, landing gear and hydraulic monitoring and control and is a significant milestone in Meggitt's continuing expansion into ATA 32 system control and monitoring, all of which must interface with aircraft, avionics, landing gear and hydraulic systems." Meggitt's braking systems are now on the Falcon 10, 20, 50, 900 and 7X aircraft, comprising nearly 1,200 aircraft. NR
