FORT COLLINS, Colo., June 16, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Today, Woodward (NASDAQ: WWD), a global leader in aerospace and industrial energy control solutions, announced that Airbus has selected Woodward as the supplier for the Spoiler Servo Control Actuator on the A350 program. The agreement includes 12 aircraft spoilers, as well as services for A350 Spoiler Actuation System in support of A350 operators.
The Airbus A350 is a long-range, widebody twin-engine airliner that has been in service since 2015 and is currently in production with an order backlog of over 700 aircraft.
