| Magellan Aerospace Receives Contract To Supply Titanium Components For F-35 Fighter Jet Engine |
International Military - Canada's Magellan Aerospace has secured a contract from Lockheed Martin to supply titanium components for the F-35 Lightning II fighter jet engine. In addition, titanium components will also be provided for the tie rods for the wing of the stealth aircraft. This multi-million dollar contract runs from 2023 to 2027.
Titanium components for the F-35 will be produced by Magellan for all three variants of the F-35 fighter jet. Contract work will be performed at Magellan Aerospace's facility at Kitchener in Ontario, Canada. This facility specializes in the production of titanium and stainless steel components.
Magellan Aerospace has been a partner of Lockheed Martin's particular F-35 program since its inception, back in 1997. Deliveries of spare parts equipment for the F-35 were carried out by Magellan in late 2003, the company said.
In 2020, Magellan completed delivery of its 200th horizontal stabilizer set as part of the F-35 component supply chain.
