Partners of Hegan in the manufacture of the Boeing 787 Dreamliner

Although it has done his apparition with three years of delay, the new aeroplane crashes of the American aeronautical sector component manufacturing sector component manufacturing manufacturer arrives to Europe, with a wide representation of the activity of the partners of Hegan. After the deliveries of components during 2010 and 2011 for some 28 and 29 annual aeroplanes, respectively, once started the program of Boeing, will elevate the rhythm of production progressively and will activate the supplies of his providers all over the world.

In the area of engine, ITP —Industry of Turbo Propellants— is partner to risk in the engine of Rolls-Royce, Trent 1000 —one of the two possible motorisations of this aircraft— with more than 10% of quota, what means the highest Spanish participation in this aeroplane.

ITP Does charge of the design, manufacture and assembling of the module LPT -the turbine of low pressesure-, as well as of the ‘Rear frame', and his subsidiary PCB supplies superaleaciones melted to the stray wax for the turbines of drop and half pressesure. According to the statements of Boeing, this engine results more efficient that his predecessors, lighter and easy to install. In addition to going by in front in the fulfillment of the environingingmental regulation, since it will allow to the airlines save 20% in the consumption of fuel and 30% in maintenance.

The tractor trucks paper develops it ITP with the contracting of works to the companies Aciturri (Components of turbine and of external systems of engine), Aibe (design and manufacture of toolings for the manufacture), Astorkia (components), CTA (validation of essays in aerodynamic technologies), Electrohilo (spark-erosion of vain), Industries Galindo (toolings), Novalti (components for the LPT), Nuter (fittings), Siegel (components mechanised), and WEC (components mecanosoldados of engine). It is to this last company to which TEY realises thermal sensors treatments. Equally, Group TTT caters of superficial treatments to some components of this engine.

Inside the area of structures, and between the partners of Hegan with load of work of some importance in the 787 find Aernnova, that has realised the engineering of the wing; Sener, responsible of the machines of production of larguerillos of the horizontal stabilizer; and Alestis Aerospace, that participates in the manufacture of components for the Horizontal Stabilizer Strakelet and Tips and panels of the leading drawer.

Aernnova Initiated his collaboration with Boeing in the project 787 in the year 2006. From said dates tens of engineers of the company have participated so much from Seattle as from Vitoria and Madrid in the design and later in the essays of certification of the wing, as well as of other elements of the structure of the aeroplane. This collaboration, that continues to day of today, has developed in the engineering so much of components in composite as of metallic components. It is necessary to remember that the Boeing 787 is a model of aircraft that is conformed in 50% in material composite.

By his part, Alestis Aerospace, that already came working from 2008 in the program 787-8 of the hand of the chain of supply of Alenia, has incorporated in 2011 to the group of direct providers of Boeing for the manufacture of distinct elements of the horizontal stabilizer (HTP) and of the leading drawer of the 787.

Of the same way, in this area of structures are doing industrial contributions to the program the companies Astorkia (structural components) and Aeromec (more than 40 references in aluminium for the 8 doors of passengers of the aeroplane).

Already in the field of aeronautical sector component manufacturing sector component manufacturing systems, is representative the participation of DMP that, through the integrador of systems Messier Dowty, supplies a ‘kit' of 36 pieces of the system of amortiguación of the leading train, that includes elements of until 800 mm of length.

DMP —Mechanical developments of Precision— expects a backstitch of his sales with his ‘kit' of amortiguación. In 2007 it began the manufacturing of the systems for this aircraft, although in the following years the American constructor paralysed the project of his new model, by what up to now so much this Gipuzkoan company, like the rest of providers, have kept a level of production under that at present they are reactivating.

Equally, in the field of systems, Alpha Microfusión participates in the system of air conditioned of the aircraft, with the manufacturing of pipes realised in smelting of superaleaciones to the stray wax.
