Goodrich will provide components such as ailerons, flaps, rudder fairings and wing tips to reduce lifecycle costs.

The GRID-LOCK technology will join machined structural components to make strong, lightweight parts out of interlocking pieces.

It will make the components more durable and corrosion-resistant, compared with bonded aluminium honeycomb components.

Goodrich will begin deliveries in late 2010 and continue to mid 2011.
