Liebherr Aerospace has adopted the motto "transform. develop. sustain." to highlight its presence at the 2024 Farnborough Airshow and demonstrate how it addresses significant challenges facing the aviation industry.
The French family-run company asserts it invests “far above” the industry average in research and technology—including electrification, 3D printing, and hydrogen power—and “makes a significant contribution” to rendering air transport more environmentally friendly and efficient.
Liebherr designed several components of Boeing 777X's novel folding wingtip mechanism, such as the angle gearbox, the power drive unit, and numerous actuators. The moving mockup of the 777X's folding wingtip is on display at the Liebherr booth.
