Collins Aerospace, GKN Fokker Services extend MRO agreement
Collins Aerospace | October 27, 2020
Collins Aerospace Systems, a unit of Raytheon Technologies Corp., and Fokker Services, a GKN Aerospace company, are expanding an existing 10-year FlightSense On-Site Support agreement for Collins Aerospace’s integrated drive generators (IDGs). The expanded contract will add new IDG part numbers for the Airbus A320neo, while Collins Aerospace will continue to manage Fokker Services’ onsite inventory of IDG components, providing competitive rates for OEM-quality parts and improved shop efficiency. Fokker Services, in turn, will now be able to repair Collins Aerospace IDGs for the A320neo at its Amsterdam Airport Schiphol facilities.
The IDG provides primary electric power for the aircraft electrical system by converting variable engine input speed to a constant output speed, thus enabling the generator portion of the IDG to produce alternating current at a constant frequency.
