Super-sized rig

Goodrich has unveiled the world's largest landing gear test facility, lending credence to the notion that bigger sometimes can be better.

During the public unveiling of a new 400,000-ft² landing gear test facility in Oakville, Ontario, Canada, Goodrich Chairman, President, and CEO Marshall Larsen not only discussed his company's diverse product line but also placed great emphasis on its long-term relationship with European aircraft manufacturer Airbus.

“Today's event is a very proud moment for Goodrich, and marks another milestone in the development of our relationship with Airbus,” Larsen said. “The A380 [has] a myriad of Goodrich products onboard.”
