Eaton was awarded a $3.5 million contract by the U.S. Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) to design an innovative podded refueling boom. This system is intended to enable both traditional and non-traditional tanker aircraft to perform safe in-flight refueling operations.
The contract was received from the AFRL Transformational Capabilities Office (TCO) following Eaton's participation in the Air-to-Air Refueling Mechanism Digital Design Challenge by AFWERX. This highlights Eaton's expertise in advanced aerospace solutions and its ability to secure defense contracts.
This project positions Eaton at the forefront of developing next-generation aerial refueling technology. It signifies a strategic win that could lead to further opportunities in military aviation and defense markets.
