The Parker subsystem will operate at 5000 psi, compared to the traditional commercial aircraft system pressure of 3000 psi.
The greater rate of pressure will reduce the size of equipment needed, thus reducing the weight of the subsystem.
The Parker team will work with Boeing to support the definition and specification of the hydraulic subsystem, as well as its design and integration with the aircraft surrounding systems.
Parker will also support Boeing as the hydraulic subsystem goes through the certification stage of the aircraft, through production and delivery to owner/operator users in the field, providing them with lifetime product support of the Parker equipment.
The 7E7 Dreamliner will carry 200 to 250 passengers up to 8500 nautical miles, and is expected to use 20 per cent less fuel than today's aircraft of comparable size.
It is scheduled for entry into service in 2008.
Boeing anticipates a need for 3500 aircraft in the 7E7 market segment over the next 20 years and has booked orders from four airlines for 62 of the aircraft and is working to finalise agreements with about two dozen airlines for more than 200 airplanes.
"We are delighted to be part of the exciting new 7E7 programme," noted Parker Hannifin President and Chief Executive Officer Don Washkewicz.
"The Dreamliner will revolutionise the airline industry in its use of lightweight composites and other innovative materials and technologies.
Parker Hannifin is pleased to be part of this history-making venture".
