Boeing 787 Dreamliner
The Boeing Company selected Goodrich Corporation to supply the
Proximity Sensing System for the Boeing 787 Dreamliner.
The Goodrich designed Proximity Sensing System for the 787 will
sense and monitor the position of the landing gear, fuselage doors,
cargo doors, and thrust reverser components. The system consists
of proximity sensors located throughout the aircraft, remote data
concentrators that digitize the sensor data, and system software
functions. The software performs the higher level aircraft proximity
functions such as door indication, door control, air/ground indication
and thrust reverser indication. The system software is hosted in
a central computing environment.
