Triumph components for MQ-25
Triumph Group has received a contract from Boeing to supply hydraulic system components for the MQ-25 unmanned aerial refuelling programme, the company announced on 4 April.
Under the contract, Triumph Integrated Systems will provide components for the hydraulic systems used in the aircraft's landing gear and arresting systems.

We look forward to working with Boeing on the MQ-25 programme through to production.'
