 Magnaghi Aeronautica brief history

• Magnaghi was born in 1936 as company producing, landing gears,

fuel tank, oil tank, engine components for military aeronautic
industries;

• In the ‘70 the co-operation with Messier Bugatti in engineering

and on license construction field introduced the Company to the
civil market;

• The years spent in this area and the experience gained in the
entire process increased the capability of the Company up to a full
design authority on complete landing gear system;

• In 1998 Magnaghi Napoli and Magnaghi Milano were merged into

one company;

• End of 2001 Magnaghi Aeronautica joined Invesco Group.

 Technology and Innovation through R&D investments

New Technologies
key projects are currently underway with planned introduction into the original
equipment product line over the next years:

Plating & Coating Replacement projects

Status: Experimental activities achieved; implementation in progress in
terms of equipment, procedures and design rules
Continuous design improvement projects: Crash absorbers
Status: Experimental tests on specimens metallic and composite material
in progress; analysis and studies on crash behaviour of double stages shock
absorber installed on fixed landing gear are achieved and comparative
analysis on composite element integrated in the S/A are in progress
Electrical Actuation Systems
Status: 1st prototype installed on UAV landing gear system (adapted from
exiting EM actuators to verify the reliability and operating behaviour) trade-off
on new EM actuator in progress
 Technology and Innovation through R&D investments

Electrical Actuation
Magnaghi developed an electrical actuator for the
Alenia UAV Sky-X aircraft

The actuator has a primary retraction/extension

function and a secondary down-locking function

Magnaghi are further investing to develop specific

technologies for LG electrical actuators
