GEARING UP

摘要

A growing corporate aviation order book worldwide signals good news for Messier-Dowty's Toronto operation, a company that literally supports the industry with its nose and main landing gear systems. It is estimated that Messier-Dowty landing gear has been installed on over 19,000 general, commercial and military aircraft and is deployed in more than 30,000 landings per day. The equivalent of one every three seconds. At the centre of all that activity is the Toronto-based Business and Regional Aircraft Business Unit, one of three business units that Messier-Dowty, a subsidiary of French-based aerospace propulsion and systems giant, the Snecma Group, has established in Europe and North America.
