Moog Inc. has been picked to supply the primary flight control
system for Embraer’s second generation E-Jet passenger aircraft
now under development, the Elma motion control equipment maker
said Monday.  Moog did not disclose the potential value of the
contract, which calls for the company to provide flight control
computers and software, along with flight control acuators and
control electronics for the passenger jet.  The new planes will
succeed Embraer’s E-170 and E-190 aircraft and are expected to
have the capacity to carry between 78 to 122 passengers, once
they begin flying, possibly sometime in 2018.
