Boeing releases engineering drawings for 747-8

Filed Under Airlines 

The Boeing Co (NYSE: BA) has released the first engineering drawings for its new 747-8 aircraft.

According to the company, the two drawings released were for the body landing gear and the underwing engine fittings. The first drawing reportedly defines the body landing gear outer cylinder sufficiently to allow the supplier, Goodrich Corp (NYSE: GR), to begin developing the forging block that will be used to make the part.

The second release, the engineering advanced materials release, is for fittings that will be used to hang the engine on the underside of the wing. Four fittings are required for each of the four GEnx-2B67 engines on the 747-8, for a total of 16 per aircraft. The fittings are made of titanium.
