As a system and volume team partner with Boeing on the 787 program, we worked with other Parker divisions to create the aft strut fairing hydraulic equipment module, pre-integrating 60 components into a single subsystem designed to provide structure and hydraulic support while reducing aircraft production flow time.

Prior to shipment, the modules complete component functional checks, leak tests, hydraulic/electrical/structural spatial clearance verification, and electrical bonding and grounding conductivity requirements. The installation of all hardware, including all the functional checks, are performed by Parker Aerospace instead of by the aircraft manufacturer.

Our dual-wall transfer tube provides self-aligning capability in aerospace fuel system applications to compensate for linear and angular misalignment. Connecting two or more tanks or subsystems, fluid is conveyed with radial and axial movements or offsets between the connecting ends.

An entrant that has found its way into the arena of light-yet-strong aerospace materials is para-aramid. Similar to material known under the brand name Kevlar®, man-made para-aramid fibers exhibit a high strength-to-weight ratio and can be formed into threads or yarns for use in any number of applications. Among SPD’s innovations is its para-aramid reinforced hose, available as its 3154 and 3158 hoses. Stratoflex 3154/3158 hose is widely specified for aircraft applications, including:
  • Landing gear hydraulic lines
  • Aircraft tail section hydraulic systems
  • Wing routing actuations
  • Hydraulic power generation
  • Mid- and aft-fuselage sections
  • Thrust reverser actuation systems (TRAS)
