A350 XWB Thrust Reversers

Goodrich Corp., Charlotte, N.C., won a contract worth up to $10 billion over 20 years to provide Airbus with nacelle and thrust reverser systems for its A350 XWB wide-body aircraft. The contract, which Goodrich said is expected to generate about $10 billion in original equipment and aftermarket revenues over 20 years, includes the integration of the Goodrich technology with each engine manufacturer's offering.
