TT SYSTEMS AB has been selected by Boeing to provide the humidification systems for flight deck, crew rests and cabin zone A/B for the Boeing 777X aircraft. CTT will be tier-1 supplier to Boeing and the CTT products will be offered as supplier furnished equipment in the 777X catalogue. Selecting CTT enables Boeing to bring proven humidification capabilities and performance from the 787 to the 777X and migrate to premium passenger cabins (zone A and B). In total, the Boeing 777X aircraft can be equipped with five of our humidifiers. “This is a major win for CTT, building on our experiences on the 787,” said Torbjörn Johansson, CEO of CTT Systems. “The demand for
humidification is proven on the 787 with a flight deck humidifier fleet selection close to 80% and I am convinced that this extended offering will be well received by airlines.” The 777X will be the largest and most efficient twin-engine jet in the world, with 12% lower fuel consumption and 10% lower operating costs than the competition.
