Charlotte, NC-based Goodrich Corporation has been selected by
Hamilton Sundstrand Power Systems to supply an integrated fuel
injection system, consisting of fuel atomizers and flexible
manifolds, for the APS5000 Auxiliary Power Unit (APU) to be used

According to Bob Yancey, President of Goodrich's Turbine Fuel
Technologies division, "This award is a great example of the
breadth and depth of our fuel systems offerings for all sizes and
classes of airframes and rotorcraft. We are pleased to have the
opportunity to continue teaming with Hamilton Sundstrand and to add
to the overall Goodrich presence onboard the Boeing 787
Dreamliner."
