Meggitt wins $20m US fuel bladder supply contract

Defence supplier Meggitt said it signed a $20m three year continuation contract with Northrop Grumman for fuel bladders on the F/A-18 Super Hornet aircraft.

Deliveries are scheduled to commence this month, the company said in a statement on Thursday. The bladders self-seal if struck by ground fire “ensuring a safe return to base”, it added.
