Westbury, NY – Arkwin Industries Inc., a leading designer and manufacturer of precision aerospace hydraulic and fuel system components, will be supplying the Hydraulic Bootstrap Reservoir to Boom Technologies for the Boom Demonstrator(XB-1).

Boom is building XB-1 to validate technologies for Boom’s airliner. The data they collect from XB-1 test flights will help Boom refine their design and engineering, test key supersonic technologies, and ensure efficiency, safety, and reliability.

This two-seat demonstrator—affectionately known as “Baby Boom”—will prove in flight the key technologies for safe, efficient travel at Mach 2.2.

XB-1 is the first independently developed supersonic jet—and history’s fastest civil aircraft. It will give Boom valuable experience with the forces, temperatures, and aerodynamics at these speeds.

Arkwin Industries Inc. Awarded Landing Gear Control Valve for the Airbus C-295.

Westbury, NY – Arkwin Industries Inc., a leading designer and manufacturer of precision aerospace hydraulic and fuel system components, will be supplying the Landing Gear Control Valve to Airbus Defence and Space for a variant of the C-295.

The C-295 is a twin-turboprop tactical military transport aircraft.  It is derived from the CASA/IPTN CN-235, but with an extended fuselage that allows for 50% more cargo capacity and new turboprop engines.  The Landing Gear Control Valve (LGCV) provides directional control and sequencing for the landing gear doors, uplocks, and struts.  The landing gears are hydraulically operated to extend and retract as controlled by the LGCV.  The LGCV also includes a mechanical override to enable gear extension in the event of a loss of hydraulic pressure.
