LISI ANNUAL REPORT 2009
Our fuselage insulation fastening
systems selected by Boeing
— Launched last year, this innovative range of products enables
the latest «fire» regulations for the fastening of insulation to
aircraft fuselages to be met. LISI AEROSPACE products were
selected by Boeing and the industrialization, qualification and
production delivery phases have been successfully completed.
Mass savings
The stamped metal versions of these
fuselage insulation mat fastening
systems enable significant mass
savings compared to other solutions
on the market.
Finally, new programs such as the A380
and the B787 have completed decisive
stages: maturity and increased production
for one, and a maiden flight for the other,
not forgetting the very promising A350.
In conclusion, LISI AEROSPACE remains
confident on the outlook for recovery, and
considers that the low point in the cycle
has been reached. The division will take a
cautious, pragmatic, responsive approach
to adapting to market realities in order to
be ready for a recovery in the second half
of 2010 or in 2011.
