In July last year, Triumph Group delivered the first ramp and related door structures for the V-22 Osprey multi-mission tiltrotor aircraft.
As per the contract, Triumph was required to manufacture the ramp and ramp door structures under a renewed statement of work for the V-22 programme.
Under a contract with Boeing Defense, Space & Security, the structures produced at Triumph Aerospace Structures Composites Center of Excellence in Milledgeville, Georgia were delivered to Boeing Philadelphia.
