Tata Advanced Systems (TASL) has been awarded a contract for manufacturing and supply of the Boeing 737 fan cowl, the legendary single aisle aircraft family, at its state-of-the-art facility in Hyderabad, Telangana.
TASL will supply 50 percent of the monthly 737 fan cowl requirements from FY25.
Fan cowl doors provide an aerodynamic surface over the fan case of the engine between the inlet and the thrust reverser and protect engine mounted components and accessories.
There are two fan cowl doors (left and right) around each engine that can be opened to provide access for service and maintenance of the engine components and accessories on the fan case of the engine.
TASL also manufactures thousands of critical systems and components for some of Boeing’s most advanced products from its facilities in Nagpur, Bengaluru and Hyderabad.
Further, TASL runs a manufacturing facility in Nagpur, where advanced composite floor beams for all the Boeing Dreamliner airplane variants are produced.
The Tata-Boeing joint venture in Telangana manufactures fuselages for the Apache helicopters and has recently added a new production line to produce vertical fin structures for the 737 family of airplanes.
