Firan Technology Group Corporation (FTG) announced that De Havilland Aircraft of Canada Ltd. has selected FTG to provide updated cockpit control assemblies for the new De Havilland Canadair 515 (DHC-515) aerial firefighting aircraft.

Deliveries will commence in 2025 and will support De Havilland Canada’s program to produce the DHC-515 aircraft.

The design, development, and production of these critical assemblies will be conducted at FTG’s Aerospace Toronto facility.

“We are incredibly proud to be selected by De Havilland Canada for this important program,” said Peter Dimopoulos, Vice President, Business Development at FTG. “This contract highlights FTG’s ability to provide high-quality, Canadian-made components for a critical Canadian-built aircraft. We are thrilled to contribute to this important project and support the growth of the aerospace industry in Canada.”

The DHC-515 is a next-generation amphibious aircraft designed specifically for aerial firefighting operations. FTG’s control panel assemblies (CPA) play a crucial role as they provide the interface for pilots to control various aspects of flight.
