Héroux-Devtek awarded life-cycle contract for new Dassault Aviation Falcon 10X

Héroux-Devtek Inc., a leading international manufacturer of aerospace products and the world's third-largest landing gear manufacturer, is pleased to announce today that it has been awarded a contract by Dassault Aviation to design, develop and manufacture the landing gear system for the new Falcon 10X. The agreement also includes the delivery of spare parts and aftermarket services for the life duration of the programme.

"We are very proud to have been selected by Dassault to supply the new Falcon 10X's landing gear following our solid performance on the Falcon 6X programme. This contract award is a testament to our expertise, and we are eager to demonstrate our world-class capabilities in the design, development and support of complete landing gear systems once more. We believe in Dassault's ability to master new technology and succeed in this niche market for a long time. The signing of this contract will also allow Héroux-Devtek to secure jobs at its various production plants." said Héroux-Devtek president and CEO, Martin Brassard.

"This contract reaffirms our trust in Héroux-Devtek. Our Falcons have the reputation to be able to operate from very challenging fields. The Falcon 10X will live up to that reputation. That is one of the reasons why the landing gear is, for us, an equipment of particular importance," said Eric Trappier, chairman and CEO of Dassault Aviation.
