Goodrich Corporation has been selected to supply wheels and carbon brakes on Saudi Arabian Airlines’ fleet of 12 new Boeing 777-300ER aircraft. This selection compliments Saudi Arabian’s existing Goodrich-equipped fleet of 777-200 and 747-400 aircraft, making Goodrich the preferred supplier for Saudi Arabian’s wide-body fleets. Saudi Arabian’s first 777-300ER aircraft is scheduled to be delivered in January 2012.
Goodrich’s 777-300ER carbon brake uses proprietary DURACARB carbon material. The DURACARB carbon provides exceptional brake performance and a 35% brake life advantage over competitive equipment.
