Our solutions

More electric systems
We’re replacing traditional hydraulic and pneumatic systems with more electric systems, and in turn reducing engine bleed air and its resulting fuel consumption. Our work began more than 20 years ago on the Boeing 787 Dreamliner and today we continue to manufacture the only bleed-less electric environmental control system in service for the Boeing 787.

Hybrid electric propulsion
We’re combining thermal engines with electric motors and batteries, burning less fuel for a greater impact.
