Multi-million dollar order from Boeing to Stork Aerospace for C-17

transport aircraft
 

Stork Aerospace has again won an order worth several tens of millions

of dollars to supply components for the Boeing C-17 (Globemaster III)

military transport aircraft.
 

This is a follow-on order for the production of fundamental

components for the complex loading ramp/door of the aircraft's hold,

as well as plastic spoilers. The actual delivery by the Stork/Fokker

locations of Hoogeveen and Papendrecht - will take place from 2004 to

2008.
 

The C-17 is a military transport aircraft that combines a high

airlift capacity with the capability to operate from short and poorly

surfaced runways. Among the well known roles which the aircraft has

fulfilled are humanitarian aid and support missions. It initially

entered service with the United States Air Force, which has now

ordered a total of 180, with the recent announcement for buying 60

more C-17s for its airlift fleet. In additional to the U.S. Air Force

fleet, the U.K. Royal Air Force is leasing four C-17 Globemasters to

help meet their airlift needs.
 

Stork Aerospace specialises in the design, development and production

of lightweight structures and electrical components for the

commercial and military aviation industry and the space industry.

This group achieved a turnover of EUR 420 million in 2001, out of the

total Stork turnover of EUR 2.2 billion, and has 3,335 employees.
