Avcorp Industries will produce F35 carrier variant – outboard wings (CV-OBW) for the US Navy under a contract awarded by BAE Systems.

Under the contract, Avcorp is expected to deliver up to 340 shipsets of the CV-OBW over ten to 15 years of production.

BAE Systems F35 project director C Addison said the contract with Avcorp would enable BAE to deliver quality OBWs that achieve the affordability targets for the US Navy’s F35 Lightning programme.

A production facility for the aerostructure assemblies is being established by Avcorp with assembly work scheduled to begin by the end of 2010.
