The U.S. aircraft manufacturer Lockheed Martin has selected Terma for the supply of Conventional Edges for the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter Horizontal Stabilizer. The selection will lead to a contract under which Terma will produce the high-tech carbon-fibre composite parts.
The project represents a potential turnover value of approximately US$ 50 million. Terma won the selection in international competition on a best value basis.
The Conventional Edges are located on the horizontal tails of all three versions of the F-35 aircraft.
Since 2003 Terma has participated in the Lockheed Martin team designing structural parts. The design is based on the use of advanced composite materials.
Previously Terma/Grenaa has been selected for the design and manufacture of:
– The Gun Pod for two of the three variants of the aircraft
– Weapons Pylons
– Composite panels for the Airframe
– Tests Pods and test equipment
