The contract with Contour Premium Aircraft Seating will produce a series of composite seating plinths per aircraft utilising a lightweight sandwich panel construction to provide structural strength and to optimise on weight efficiency.

Tom Hitchings, Business Director at Tods Aerospace, says: “The project neatly dovetails into our forward production programme, where we are already producing aircraft flooring and complementary seating products for a diverse range of aircraft across the Airbus and Boeing range, alongside our flooring for military helicopters.”
