Aircraft Windshield Wiper Systems Industry Overview
The aircraft windshield wiper market is consolidated in nature, with a presence of few players holding significant shares in the market. Some of the key players in the market are Safran, Aerosystems S.r.l., Raytheon Technologies Corporation, Krause Airco, Inc., and Saint-Gobain Aerospace.
Key original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) are highly investing in developing new windshield wiper systems using 3D printing technology. Furthermore, major players focus on business expansion through innovation, contracts with airlines, agreements, and new product development. For Airbus Helicopters, the German RepRap X400 was instrumental in developing their new windshield wiper system. 3D printing the windshield wiper systems reduced testing time and costs for Airbus.
In April 2020, Ontic signed an exclusive license agreement with Honeywell International Inc. for aircraft windshield wiper product lines. The license covers windshield wiper assemblies, including arms, wiper motor, blades, and components. The products are fitted on commercial and military platforms that include B757, B767, B777, B777X, C-17, KC-46A, and ERJ series.
