October 2014 - On October 18, Radiall was invited to attend the roll-out of Mitsubishi Aircraft Corporation's new Heavy Industries' aircraft, the Mitsubishi Regional Jet (MRJ), in Japan.

Radiall has been selected to design and manufacture interconnect solutions for the civil aircrafts of this program, which are expected to make their first flights in June 2017. Multipin connectors, fiber optics and radio frequency harnesses will equip the 70 and 90 seat aircrafts.

"Our ability to offer a comprehensive solution, the performance of our products and the use of lightweight materials such as PTFE in our cable harnesses were key factors in Mitsubishi Aircraft Corporation's decision to choose us as a preferred supplier" said Mamoru Namioka from Radiall Nihon (Japan), who was present at the roll-out ceremony of the MRJ.

Unveiled in Mitsubishi's Komaki facility, this civil aircraft marks the return of Japan's presence in the aerospace market. Mitsubishi has received 191 firm orders and 216 potential orders for the MRJ. Mitsubishi Aircraft Corporation hopes to cover 50% of the market for regional civilian aircraft by 2020.

The presence of Radiall at this event showcases the French company's position as a strategic partner for major players in the civil aviation industry.
