Airbus has selected Liebherr-Aerospace to supply their new generation of electro-pneumatic technology for the bleed air system of the A330neo program. On October 14th, both partners signed the contract in Toulouse. The new generation of electro-pneumatic bleed air system from Liebherr-Aerospace features compact, lightweight and highly reliable bleed valves as well as a pre-cooler with integrated controls. It benefits from Liebherr’s experience in bleed air systems – gained through various projects for a wide range of commercial aircraft, in particular on such Airbus aircraft as the A320neo and the A380. The system, which will bring substantial reduction in operating costs and significant increases in reliability, will be developed, qualified and manufactured in Toulouse (France) by Liebherr-Aerospace Toulouse SAS. The first A330neo is due to be delivered in 2017. Liebherr already supplies several key systems and components for the current Airbus Long Range program, e.g. high lift actuation, spoiler and rudder actuation, as well as air conditioning. The A330neo bleed contract contributes to the further consolidation of Liebherr’s partnership with Airbus.
