Meggitt awarded five year fuel cell contract for UH-60 Black
Hawk programme
Meggitt PLC, a leading international company specialising in
high performance components and sub-systems for the aerospace,
defence and energy markets, today announces a $21m contract with
Defense Logistics Agency ('DLA') Richmond, Virginia to supply fuel
cell equipment for the UH-60 Black Hawk helicopter until 2022.
Meggitt's crashworthy, self-seal fuel tanks, which meet the
ultra-rigorous standards of flexibility, strength, impact and
cut-and-tear resistance of US MIL-T-27422B, have stopped fuel
spillage and reduced fire-related death and injury in survivable
helicopter crashes to almost zero. Meggitt will manufacture the
UH-60 fuel cell equipment from its Rockmart facility.
Stewart Watson, President of Meggitt Polymers & Composites,
said: "Meggitt is proud of the trust that DLA Richmond has once
again placed in Meggitt to provide fuel cell equipment for the
Black Hawk helicopter, underlining the exceptional performance
record of our fuel cell technology, which is now present on
virtually all US military helicopters".
