NORTHROP Grumman's Midgeville, Georgia, composite-production plant is to begin providing nacelle components to Boeing's Wichita division for the Boeing 747/757/767/777 commercial aircraft.
The new work, which includes fan-cowl assemblies, thrust reversers and inlet panels, extends into the next century and could be worth more than $200 million.
Northrop Grumman Commercial Aircraft already builds major structures and subassemblies for Boeing aircraft as well as for the McDonnell Douglas C-17, the Gulfstream V and other business and regional-jet aircraft.
