Fuelling innovation in aviation
Parker Hannifin will highlight its fuelling technologies designed to meet the evolving needs of the aviation industry at inter airport Europe 2025, the world's premier exhibition for airport equipment, technology, design, and services.
The acquisition of Meggitt in 2022 has expanded Parker's product portfolio within the aviation hydrant system market, combining Parker Velcon's Aviation Jet Fuel Filtration Systems with Parker Meggitt's Ground Fuelling Products.
The spotlight will be on Parker Meggitt's new F145-3 Pressure Refuelling Nozzle. This nozzle is smaller and lighter than previous models, yet maintains robust durability and provides a positive, leak-tight connection to aircraft adapters during fuelling operations, enhancing safety and efficiency on the tarmac.
Other Parker Meggitt products on display will include a selection of core products installed on aviation refueller vehicles, such as the F239-1 Hydrant Coupler and the F117 Heavy Duty Pressure Refuelling Nozzle. In addition to these products, Parker Meggitt will exhibit their Hydrant Pit Box solution, which includes the Hydrant Pit Box Hydrant Valve and Under-Hydrant Ball Valve. This comprehensive offering provides a turnkey solution for global hydrant system construction projects.
