MARIETTA, Ga., July 29 (UPI) -- The first of 10 new Mid-Life Upgrade outer wings for CP-140 Aurora aircraft was delivered this week to the Canadian government, Lockheed Martin said.
The wings will be installed on the Aurora, by IMP Aerospace, a Lockheed P-3 service center in Halifax, Nova Scotia.
The CP-140 Aurora is based on the airframe of the company's venerable P-3 Orion aircraft. Canada operates a fleet of 18 CP-140 Auroras for search and rescue, littoral/overland surveillance, economic zone and shipping lane protection, submarine detection and anti-terrorism operations.
The Mid-Life Upgrade program for the aircraft replaces the outer wings, center wing lower surface, horizontal stabilizer and horizontal stabilizer leading edges with new material. All necessary fatigue-life limiting structure is replaced and new alloys are used with an increase in corrosion resistance.
The upgrades will extend the structural service life of the CP-140 by up to 15,000 hours and adds 20 years of operational use, Lockheed Martin said.
