SMART VALVE
TECHNOLOGY
HR Textron's newest products are on the leading edge of control technology.
Our "smart valve" technology is just one example of our leadership
in this area. "Smart valve" technology uses an electronically
controlled, brushless D.C. motor to provide unparalleled levels of control,
power and reliability in fuel and pneumatic valves. This technology reduces
weight on the aircraft, and significantly decreases our customer's operating
costs. "Smart valve" technology is available today to assist
our customers with cost and reliability requirements.
FUEL MANAGEMENT AND SYSTEMS
From the U.S. Navy's F/A-18 fighter to the U.S.
Army's Ah-64D helicopter; from the U.S. Marine Corp's V-22 tilt-rotor
aircraft to Boeing's commercial aircraft, HR Textron's fuel management
components and systems surpass the needs of our customer's demanding applications.
Our fuel control capabilities include the design and manufacture of fuel
subsystems and complete fuel systems. We have an extensive portfolio of
proven, flight-tested hardware, including:
- Bi-directional Control Valves
- Check Valves
- Shut-off Valves
- Drain Valves
- Extendable Jettison Tubes

External Fuel Tank and
Pressurization Control Valves, like the one shown above and used on
the F-16, KHX and F2 aircraft, regulate pressure in fuel tanks and
provide "vent-down" capability. |
