Updated museum to receive landing gear technology exhibit
Goodrich Corporation’s (NYSE: GR) Landing Gear business in Oakville,
Ontario will provide an innovative exhibit for the Canadian Air and
Space Museum’s revitalization effort. The announcement was made at a
ceremony held at the museum yesterday.
Featuring one of Goodrich’s large commercial aircraft landing gear, the
exhibit is expected to include an interactive display that will
demonstrate the functionality of the landing gear while also
highlighting the complexities of its internal design.
In a speech at the ceremony, Tim Whittier, director of government
relations for Goodrich Landing Gear, said “Through the years, Goodrich
has had the opportunity to be a part of some truly remarkable aircraft.
We are committed to supporting the Canadian Air and Space Museum and its
goal of becoming a national showcase for Canada’s aeronautical
achievements. We intend to work with the museum to develop an innovative
exhibit that illustrates the talents of our employees and prompts young
visitors to imagine what they too may be able to achieve through vision,
ingenuity, and perseverance.”
The Canadian Air and Space Museum, located in one of Toronto's oldest
