Alcoa Inc., the nation’s largest aluminum producer, recently announced that it inked a deal with Brazil-based Embraer S.A., a leading manufacturer of commercial jets, to supply aluminum products for the company’s next-generation airliners. [1]
Under the terms of the contract, Embraer will use Alcoa’s proprietary alloys and advanced metallic technologies to help the aircraft maker develop high-performance fuselage and wing solutions for its family of jetliners. The news comes at an opportune time for Alcoa, which last summer launched new aluminum alloys that it says will lower the cost, weight and maintenance of aircraft compared with the composites currently used.
