Ontic and Boeing are strengthening their exclusive distributor partnership with a new 10-year distribution agreement, expanding Boeing’s offerings to include the TRAS (thrust reverser actuation system) and PECU (propeller electronic control unit) product lines. Overall, this extended partnership between Boeing and Ontic signifies a commitment to delivering top-notch products and services, supporting customers’ operational needs, and driving innovation and growth in the aerospace aftermarket sector.
This addition encompasses approximately 1,000 actuation and propulsion system products across various aircraft platforms, marking a significant milestone in their collaboration. Boeing’s distribution portfolio for Ontic also encompasses fuel controls, actuation, MWD (memory wheel device), lighting, interior electronics, wipers product lines, and business and general aviation displays, serving a wide range of civil and military aircraft platforms.
The TRAS product line supports a range of engines and aircraft platforms, including the General Electric CF6-50/80 series for aircraft like the Airbus A300/310/330, Boeing B747/767, DC10, KC10, MD11, VC-25A, C-5M, and C-2; GE CF-34 for CL600/CRJ Series; Rolls Royce RB 211 for the B747-400; and Rolls Royce Trent 900 and GE GP700 for the A380. On the other hand, the PECU plays a critical role as a Line Replaceable Unit (LRU) for the Dowty R408 series propeller system used in the De Haviland Canada DHC-8/Q400.
