Meggitt, a leading international company specialising in high
performance components and sub-systems for aerospace, defense
and energy, announces that Meggitt Sensing Systems has been
selected by Snecma (Safran group) to supply a key package of
sensor products for the LEAP engine. The LEAP is an entirely
new baseline turbofan engine developed by CFM
International(1) that will power the next generation of
single-aisle commercial jets. The agreement covers the
LEAP-1A and LEAP-1C versions of the engine selected to power
the Airbus A320neo and Comac C919 respectively. Meggitt
estimates that the agreement will generate gross sales
(including original equipment, spares and repairs) of more
than $200 million over the life of these engines.
Meggitt will supply high performance sensors right across the
engine, measuring vibration, shaft speeds and a range of
critical temperatures. LEAP engine operators will be
supported by Meggitt’s global customer service organisation.
The LEAP sensor contracts were signed as Snecma presented
Meggitt Sensing Systems’ Basingstoke operation with a best
supplier award for excellent operational performance on CFM56
sensors.
Peter Huber, President of Meggitt Sensing Systems commented:
“We have been an engine sensor supplier to Snecma for
more than 30 years but the scope of this award takes that
relationship to another level.”
