Boeing Awards Contract For 777X Remote Electronic Units

BAE Systems Will Provide Control Units For Control Surface Actuators

The Boeing Company has selected BAE Systems to provide the Remote Electronic Units (REU) for both variants of the 777X aircraft. An REU is an electronic unit that manages the aircraft’s flight control surface actuators and interfaces with the Integrated Flight Control Electronics (IFCE), which BAE Systems was selected to provide in 2014.

“The latest development contract for the 777X reflects BAE Systems’ expertise in high integrity controls and builds on our long-standing relationship with Boeing,” said Dr. Ehtisham Siddiqui, vice president and general manager of Commercial Aircraft Solutions at BAE Systems. “With this selection, Boeing has entrusted BAE Systems to develop the complete suite of flight control electronics, which are critical to the 777X fly-by-wire system. We look forward to supporting Boeing in introducing this advanced wide-body aircraft to the market in 2020.”

BAE Systems, which was selected through a competitive procurement process, will support the 777X technology advancements by developing and producing the REUs for localized control of the wing surface actuators such as ailerons, flaperons, elevator, rudder, stabilizer, high lift, and new wingtips.

BAE Systems’ relationship with Boeing has evolved for more than 60 years, from developing the first weapon control for the F-4 jet fighter to providing avionics and control subsystems for its commercial and military airplanes. The 777X is Boeing’s newest family of twin-aisle airplanes. It was launched in 2013 and currently has 300 orders and commitments from six customers.

The 777X is scheduled to begin production in 2017 and first delivery is scheduled for 2020.
